Bikes: Ever changing..as of 2-24-09: 2003 Giant TCR Team Once, Sampson titanium, 1992 Paramount Series 3, 2003 Cervelo P3, 70s Raleigh Record fixed gear, 70s Fuji SL-12 commuter, mid 90s Klein MTB. Plus two or three frames lurking, plus 5 wife/kids rides
I ride my Felt B2 semi-regularly on my work commute (35 miles round trip). I have a road bike that's set up with a rack that's my normal "commuter", but I need to train more on the Felt for longer races, so I'm making the effort to ride it to work as well.
I have made no attempt to add lights, racks, or anything else to the Felt (nor will I), I just make sure I've got clothes already stashed at work and I'll be riding it in the daylight.
With those caveats, it works fine. I rode home a couple of nights ago on it and averaged nearly 23 mph for the 17.5 mile trip. I ride a group ride on Saturday mornings and I hate riding the tri bike for that; I'm miserable on it unless I'm in the aero bars.
