I only got into cycling end of last year. Bought a new bike. I started with recreational rides.

At beginning of 2025, we had to return to office 5 days a week. I decided to use this opportunity to ride to work. Just 1 or 2 days a week. It is a long commute (long for me). 13 miles, 1:10 one way.

Fortunately, I can use trails for majority of the route. So I don't have to deal with cars. And it is beautiful. Sharing photos below taken during my commute.


Morning commute in January


Morning commute in January. My Trek Dual Sport 3 Gen 5 with 650b x 50mm tires are super comfortable, but a bit slow for commute.


Sunrise during commute in March. Bought an used commuter bike with narrower tires: Trek Allant 7.4 with 700c x32mm tires.
