I do commuting almost every day.. the routines route is from home to the office. The distance is only about 15km one way. I usually ride my ORi bikes eco.. 8 speeed.. but sometimes i switch to my downtube nova 30 speed.. i prefer to ride on my ORI to go commute daily, because it folded really simple and compact.. i dont have to lift the bike.. just fold and wheel it.. and i can park the bike under my table.. so simple..
