Not commute exactly....but the post feels better/more approriate here than in "car free"....Orded chinese food for take out.....got my car keys....stopped....jumped on my recently finished utilty/commuter, had shorts so didn't even need to put the rubber band around the pants cuff. Hit the take out place as the food is up...don't even need to lock bike. Put the Wald folding baskets down, put the take out in. Home and eat.
2 miles round trip, 16 mph avg, One less car trip, little bit if exercise for me, and all in all faster......
