Although admittedly, 60mm does feel a bit short after a while. Experimentation to follow!

Blacksburg has a population of 39,000 people, how heavy could the traffic be?
Visibility is good but these bikes aren't meant to be ridden sitting bolt upright. Ride risers if that's your style but at least get a stem extension that doesn't put 100% of your weight on your ass. Take some time to get used to the more aggressive posture your bike is meant for and you'll probably find you actually like it once you get past the adjustment from what you're probably used to.
