Man, you guys running the 50 year old vintage bikes are a different breed. Why put yourself through that for a commute?
First post in this thread, at least for several years.
The other day, I had brought my gravel bike to work, but forgot I had a lunchtime appointment across town. Of course I got a late start on that and it was uphill and into the wind. I mashed too hard starting from too high of a gear and messed up my knee.
So I took my Ride1Up Portola eBike in for the 2 mile commute today. No sweat but a little exercise, I love it.
I joined the "Challenge Yourself to Ride 5000 Miles in 2024" Club in Strava and eBike miles don't count, so I need to get back to the mBike ASAP.
I wish my commute was longer than 2 miles, but I feel like an idiot extending it artificially, like my one club buddy does.
I need to get a mirror on it.
My new helmet won't accommodate a mirror because of the fancy flip-down visor.
