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
Welcome to the club!
I rode the fixed gear to work this morning. I was in a tinkering mood this weekend so I threw a big ring on my FG. I went from 43x14 to a 52x16. It looks massive, but it's funny that when you enter the numbers into Sheldon's gear calculator, you find that it's only a difference of 5 gear inches or so. Great for when there's no wind. Except when there is....
