My commute.
I have had weather and time issues for the last couple weeks. Today the first day i was able to commute...Loved it. Warmer then expected this morning and beat the rain home that we were not expecting.

I rode my Panasonic. The RD is very funky, I have about 5 or 6 of the 12 speeds that work anything close to properly, despite my attempts to adjust it. Whatever, they're the gears I need and I needen't worry about the $40 bike out on the rack too much.
Good for you!!!! to tough it out in that cold for your first one is an accomplishment!
About that Panasonic....Might be more valuable then you think. Those old Japanese lugged frames are quite sought after by many of us. Go snoop around the Classic and Vintage forum. You may find new love for that old bike. Around here a cleaned up working Panasonic will bring $125 pretty quick on Craig's.
Know any "Burke's"? I have a brother-in-law with 4 sons that lives in that area.
