Instead of kids calling me nerd or geek I get alot of "cool bike" comments from the non-biking crowd.
I can't catch roadies anymore and they all look at me like I'm totally ******** now.
Much to my surprise, my commute takes only 5-10 minutes longer than my cross bike over 13 miles. (10-30% longer)
It's kinda fun running right over every pothole and jumping onto and off every curb.
