Commuters are a unique breed. We ride when roadies won't: during rush hour. We tend to take the shortest route, instead of the easiest or the one with the least cars. We need bikes that won't wear down after riding them day after day, week after week.
The three topics most relevent to us: how to deal with traffic, how to keep our bikes running smoothly, and how to clean up when we get to work.
