Brutal commute yesterday, cold and very windy. The roads were wet in the morning, so I took my single speed. One the way home, I was riding right into the wind much of the way with just one gear. Plus my legs were tired from piling up a lot of miles lately, so that made for a long ride.
However, waiting for me at home was my new touring bike that I plan to use for commuting. I had just enough time for an 8-mile spin through the neighborhood when I got home, and I rode it to work today for the first time. I'm still getting all of the adjustments right, but it's gonna be a keeper. I'll post another thread with pictures on the Commuting forum.
