im currently commuting to class, i live off campus in Albany, NY.
2.5 miles each way i think according to my GFs bike computer. takes like 15 minutes.
i ride a mountain bike and most of my commute i stick to the sidewalk. bikes seem to be half and half on the sidewalk and the street for the router i take (along a main road, some of it has a decently wide right lane to have a bike on it, some of it doesnt). not a great city for bikes.
i go back after each class unless i have another in a row, so on monday/wednesday i ride 15 miles total and tuesday/thursday i ride 5 miles total, and friday 10 miles. (over the summer i was riding quite a bit for leisure after work, now that school has started i think the leisure riding is going to be only on weekends)
the winter will be the real test, im going to end up buying a balaclava i think, i will see if i can pull it off. (we have bitterly cold blowing wind all winter here)
also i just started this week, i was planning to drive whenever it rains, but parking is such a pain in the ass im thinking of looking into some rain gear
