I can't take the 12 mile hour car commute anymore. I think that with a towel, some cologne and deodorant I'll be able to pull through the day. It will definitely be interesting. I'll switch between the specialized vita and the Bianchi Grizzly.
Any of you use rat traps, SPD, SPD SL?
I actually commute in road shoes. Look Deltas. My commutes don't go through too many urban areas with lots of starting and stopping.
