I'm also proud of my custom commuter:

Having a really nice commuting season on two of my favorite bikes!

Ohhhh they look nice! Love the front rack, looks sturdy and so convenient!
Beautiful bikes, both of them. I wish you lots of fun and plenty of safe and good rides! |
I've been riding this 72 Motobecane Grand Record for the last couple of weeks. It's mostly original save the crankset, saddle, brake levers, tires, pedals and consumables. It's a sweet ride!

Commuter setup still in progress but here's my Centurion's new accessories. :) About 2 weeks to go until the Monkey Hill Commuter Challenge...

New Bag Day!
Last week I ordered the Ortlieb Commuter-Bag Two, which has arrived. It looks great!
I'm working from home for the next few days, but looking forward to trying it out on the commute later in the week. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...0bbe101628.jpg |

Had to post a shot of my old pony on her first day of commuting duty in over 3 years, at home in her new office.

What a beauty! She looks super cool!

Been off the forum and the bike for two years, 4 days in a row this week. It's good to get back on the Kona F-150

Workhorse
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...f0f8b3378c.jpg
Here's my daily workhorse - I gave it a day off from commuting and treated it to a fun day out fishing! |
Snapped a picture today at work. I love these stands, my work bought us a couple to use. Next purchase will be some better wheels that can handle the abuse.
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...e6902ed028.jpg Charlene geared up. The bag is awesome. |
My trusty Spot Acme, used about 200 days/year up to covid lockdown and WFH. Easily 10k miles on it.
Our return to work featured a move to a distant office and the Acme is not as speedy as I need for the haul, and now a bit of an orphan as I try and squeeze in one ride/week out to methville. Fall to spring are also off the menu. Sucks TBH. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...21fed0fb3c.jpg Belt drive Alfine 11 |
Not sure if I'm still in this thread. The '07 Sirrus Drop Dar Conversion is my primary commuter and has over 16,946 miles on it. The '08 Bainchi San Jose/Joes8 is my winter bike. I still feel the pull of N+1 namely I'd love to try a Priority Apollo 11; however, I can't quite justify it as the San Jose8 is the 8speed prototype of the same kind of bike. So I think I'll be on these two until I just can't get my legs over them anymore .

It's funny, those pictures are so similar it looks like the seat, wheels, fenders, racks, bags, bars, bottle, headlight etc, just sat in place while a different frame/drivetrain was swapped underneath |

Have you tried a multi-modal commute? Bus/train partway and ride the rest (or vice versa)?
Yes, investigated it on learning of the relocation and it would comprise going to the nearby station, then to the end of the line--about 45 minutes--where the proverbial "last mile" transit folks talk about is instead about 4 horrifying miles to work. I tried it on a Sunday and it's a hard "nope." Used to be 12 minutes by light rail to the front door of my old office, a time I could beat cycling if I hit the traffic Just Right. |
I cannot wait to start outfitting my bike. I have a really short commute (like 7 mins in the car), but would like some fenders and stowage options to really allow me to embrace the ride. I am going to wait until after I get the basic set of things I need for riding (like the tools, spare tubes, pump for at home, ect).

A 12-speed reduced to 9-speed 'cause the tires are so darn fat. Now just waiting for a Wald 139 basket up front. |
