what up. My commute is 4.2 miles going in. then it is
1.5 miles and 3.0 miles going out. I have two jobs. IN the morning I leave the house at 6:15 a.m. to go to my
eletrical engineering intership. I get there at 6:45 and stay until around 4:30p.m. Then I go to my other job as a Bellman for the largest hotel in the Ohio Valley. I leave there at 1:00a.m. and go home and do it all over. Lucklily I do not have to work that second job but 4 times a week, cause some mornings I am very tired and the prospect of riding in does not feel to well. But I do it anyway since I am the bicyclepriest. I have five bikes for the task. ONe is 1970's Azuki road bike fitted with such aftermarket accessories as scott at-3 bars, fenders, and Suntour BAr end shifter. This is my main bike. When I want to ride in a more upright position, I ride my '76 Schwinn Suburban which is one of the cleaniest Suburbans you will ever see. For the rain rides I use my "beater" which is yet another Suburban but it is a brown '73 one and the other is metallic blue. For snow coditions, I ride a 1970's Sears Ted Williams fixed gear at 58.5 gear inches. Of course it did not come with a fixed gear, I changed it over from a ten speed. Lastly, for severe conditions (i.e. ice) I ride my Trailmate Desoto Classic three-wheeler, of which I have changed from a coaster brake drivetrain to a multispeed via a complicated drivetrain that includes a "flip-flop" hub. All of the bikes a 27" since I like this size better since I am 6'3". The three wheeler was a 24" but I converted it to 26". Bringing up the rear on all of my squadron is a B.O.B.(Beast of Burden) YAK trailer. I carry alot of things, i.e. brief case, rain gears, groceries, books etc. I breathe, eat, and think bicycles 24 hours a day. I think all that math I have studied has made me go insane. enough about me. Bicyclepriest says "Keep on riding for the fun of it"
