well unfortunately the trip to work is about 35 miles one way, so I won't be commuting on a regular basis, but I do a lot of things around town and that's what I want this thing for. Off days and after work around town type things. I may consider commuting 2 or 3 times a week after I get my fat ass into a bit better shape, until then this will be for fun and to save gas in the off work hours.
