Anyway, ride to work was 8.25 miles, took me about 40 minutes with fully loaded panniers and lights. Still haven't gotten fenders in the mail yet, but they will be going on soon. I got the Reflex full coverage ones.
So... do I keep posting here, or should I migrate to the "How was the commute" thread?
Hey now..... Just because you got ON your butt and rode to work doesn't mean you have to ditch us..... LOL
When (IF) it ever cools down I'm going to start doing the post office run on my mountain bike again. Right now I just cant handle getting all sweaty for the 6.5 mile post office run & then do it again later for a longer ride. I went so far as to get another bike a few months ago so that I could add the basket on one bike & still have a mountain bike for riding on trails. Ohhh and I had a bit of heal hit after I put the basket on too (mounts like panniers). It's a metal so I just cut the center of the basket where my heal was hitting and bent the 2 bars back a bit.... worked out good.
