- Mostly flat for me... 14.1 workbound on a less-safe "late for work again" route and 17.7 homebound. Lots of farm fields and nature on the route.
- Specialized Sequoia... mavic training wheels because I kept breaking spokes on the original ALX wheels (that I loved)... and add-on fenders that keep me somewhat cleaner in the rain.
- 10 pounds of crap like a laptop, my lunch, and clothes. One of my coworkers is an ironman competitor and co-owner of the local bike shop, and she says the bike looks like crap with the bags on it. Another co-worker says that it looks like a girls bike.
- I do the inbound 14.1 miles in less than 45 min and the 17.7 takes me just under 60 min.
- Just started my third year doing this. I am about to change jobs and my ONLY criteria is the new company's policies related to bicycle commuters (ie; do they have a shower, can I keep my bike inside, etc.)
- I would love to see more commuters on the road.
