I've been commuting, every work day (and to church n Sunday) for three weeks now.
Here's my ride:
It's a Dimaondback Edgewood hybrid.
My current commute is about 9 miles roundtrip, with an assist from the local MTA.
By summer's end, I hope to be making one leg (into work) without the MTA lift, that's 14.5 miles one way.
