My commutes are generally uneventful, but enjoyable, so I don't post much here.
I've been riding my fixed to work for the past few weeks. Not much difference in speed or work vs. other many geared bike.
Temps are now into the low 70s (22 C) in the morning, so I work up a good sweat into work. Afternoon temps are in the very high 90s (36 C) - actually that is the airport reported temp, when I get on the busy concrete/asphault roads during the middle of rush hour, my bike themometer (in full shade from my body as I ride east) read 106.2 F (41.2 C) yesterday, but went back down to 99.9 F (37.7 C) when I rode thru a green park area.
