Hi All,
I commuted by bike for a few months this past summer (~ 8 miles each way). I have since started a new job, which is 26 miles away. After driving to the new spot for a few months now, I'm getting the itch to get back in the saddle. I suspect a hybrid bike/bus approach may work best for me, I'm not ready to commit 4 hours round trip quite yet.
Anyway, just came to say that I read this thread end-to-end, and appreciate all the info that was shared.
