Heh, like Artkansas above, I have ridden to work on my Giant Stiletto too (mine is black and chrome though) and, to tell the truth, while it was (and still is) a little too short, it has 7 speeds and goes pretty darn quick, quicker even than the 3-speed Fuji Shangri-la beach cruiser I was using as my main commuter at the time. But I have also ridden my 3-speed Firebike 'Bling Bling' to work and that had to be the most impractical. At 8-feet long with the front tire out in a different time zone it was a little unweildly and I sat awfully low for the kind of traffic I was in, but the looks on the faces of all those commuters was worth the slow ride. Every so often, on a particularly warm, sunny day, I still ride it to work. If you're going to have a cool bike, may as well ride it as often as possible, right?
