Today I was running late and my front tire just conveniently happened to be flat. I was just about to grab my roadie off the rack when I had the random idea of taking my wife's via condotti instead; after all it was on the bottom rack.
Aside from the porteur bars hitting my calf on turns, feeling a bit cramped with my wife's fit, and the women's brooks, the ride to and from work awesome; the joys a more upright riding position can do.
And did I mention how awesome skidding is with townie bars?
