Bravo!

I'm another person that commutes on a vintage Raleigh 3-speed. I choose it over my other (Faster! Lighter! Sleeker!) bikes for its utility, comfort, and I find it affords me a more relaxed and enjoyable commute, to the extent that's possible in midtown Manhattan. It's true that when I get on my racing bike I feel like I can fly. That makes it all the more fun!
