MIne was the "rebuilding" year. Having been off a bike since 8th grade, I hopped atop my grandfather's Free Spirit, bought drop bars for it, and in the past 3 months, have tried to ride about 100 miles a week. Commuting to work (20 mile RT) at least 3 days a week has helped that average

At this point, I drive about 10 miles/week - the rest (including shopping, etc) is done on my bike. Plan on buying a vintage 3 speeder for the local commutes, and leaving the "road bike" (lol) for the commute.

Also wanting to get a real road bike with my tax check for next year's commute.
