A great morning commute on the new Coffee!

I used the Cyclemeter app on my iPhone for the first time this morning, and found out the commute on the home end of my trip is 1.77 miles, that my average speed (including a couple of stops at lights) was 8.4 mph, and that my top speed was 19.4 mph. I suspect I'll hit about 23 mph on the way home, barring a headwind, as the hills on the way home are more gradual and allow me time to build up speed. 23 mph will have my legs REALLY spinning fast, as top gear (3rd) is not as high as on my TriCross.

The weather here in Chicago has been just fantastic for the last week or two. 80s almost every day up here. People at work keep saying: "We're gonna PAY for this." But for now, I'll enjoy it.

I'm hoping my wife wants me to stop by the grocery store on the way home, so I can put some more miles on it and try it on the MUP. I'm hoping the pedestrians will be less irritating when I'm aboard this bike, compared to the TriCross.

I'm loving the sprung seat, but I think I may still get a Brooks for it. Vented leather is ever so much nicer on the bum than vinyl.
