The bianchi is still worthy, but to convert it was expensive and just seemed wrong. It will be used for back up and trail riding (what little I do), but that's it for now.

I am neither car free, nor can I call myself a dedicated commuter. I had been taking the bus to work, but biking just makes more sense. I have never liked winter biking, but I will ride as far into the season as I can.

As for the flat -- I guess it's a pretty good average. I just hope I don't makeup for it now
