Normally a 25-30 minute drive(14.5 miles), but gotta take a longer route with the bike. I think I could get used to this commuting by bike thing. Great way to start my day

Now I just gotta get home

Alright! Another Marathon owner. I put in 46 miles on my Marathon on Saturday. I used it as my primary commuter for about 3 months at the beginning of the year. I've since adjusted my fleet and took the rack off the Marathon so now I just ride it on the weekends. (My primary commuter is my '94 Nishiki hybrid, plus I have a '66 Raleigh 3-speed and a '73 Schwinn Varsity with baskets.)
