My commute bikes, from oldest to newest. Went thru multiple bikes in less than 1 year. Finally found the right commuter bike for me: drop bar gravel bike.


Excluding bikes my parents bought, this was first bike that I purchased. Trek Dual Sport 3 Gen 5.


I had difficulty riding into headwind. I thought 650b x 50mm on Trek Dual Sport was slowing me down, so I bought used Trek Allant 7.4 with 700c x 32mm tires. Made negligible difference, wind or no wind.


Finally found the right commuter. Dirt cheap Walmart Ozark Trail G.1 Explorer for $288. Works great as commuter. More efficient and faster, especially going into headwind.


Ozark Trail G.1 Explorer on very early morning commute. Beautiful morning light.
