Thanks for the welcome everyone. To answer some questions, I come from the Philly that is not quite Philly meaning the Main Line, but I'm only 15 minutes away from the Center City by train and car so I regularly make the trip, and once I wrap up high school I'll probably make the full commitment and move to the city since I'll probably end up at UArts. As far as what I use my bike for, I bought it mainly for transportation but also pleasure and the added bonus of a cheaper and healthier way to get around. When I was a bit younger I had some visions of becoming a BMX biker but that ended after I broke my two front teeth and tore open my lip, and ever since then I haven't been much of a rider, so I'm looking forward to getting back in the saddle after that hiatus. Oh and as far as my commute is, well it varies, I would ride to school and work so thats about a mile, but I also plan to take it into the city every once in a while via Kelly Drive, and just to get around whenever I need to.
