Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

How to ride to school comfortably in 3 easy steps.

1- stop thinking/talking/posting about it.
2- get on the bike and ride. It's only 7km on flat land so not much is involved.
3- based on that first ride, make adjustments as njecessary, ie. ride a bit slower, start earlier and cool off before classes, bring/leave clothing or whatever works.

My point is that you can theorize about it forever, but only by riding will you know what it's going to be like and how to make it comfortable and practical for you.

If the idea of doing it without a dress rehearsal bothers you, do the ride on a weekend morning as a dry run, then you'll be ready for Monday.

But as I said, if you don't make a first ride, you'll never make an 2nd or any nmore.
