Route:
Upper West Side to Gowanus Canal via the West Side Highway > Manhattan Bridge

Bike:
Motobecane Le Champion ca. 1981, Campy components, Mavic rims

Gear:
Backpack w/ Work clothes, wrenches-n-stuff

Distance:
10.25 miles Each Way, usually takes 45 minutes Each Way, which I think is pretty decent considering NYC traffic

Started last summer (my previous commute used to be more like 30 minutes), I'm used to the distance now and I absolutely love it, used to ride my brakeless fixed gear (47/18 ratio) but the whole stop-and-go thing over 10 miles takes a toll on my knees.
