To many riding a "racing" bike to work might seem like an impractical choice but for me it makes complete sense.

Though I know the mantra around here is N+1, I have no interest in having more than 2 bikes. I haven't quite given up competing so I want a decently fast road bike. I also want a capable all-terrain bike that can double as my winter bike.

This leaves out a dedicated commuter but that's OK, how many people have cars that they selected primarily for commuting?

Life is more than getting back and forth to work.
