How're you feeling about commuting after all this time? Enjoyable? Is this just an experiment still? Oh and how have you been? Been a while since I was truly active here.

Hi!

I still really enjoy commuting. However, it looks like I'm moving as I've received a promotion at another university. So, I'm not sure how the bike will fit into the new commute. We will see. Move won't be until SEP though. Current employer is going to be super pissed, but such is life!

Good to see you around again!

sorry guys, last month has been insane:

interview for job
offered job
went for second site visit to make sure all was in order
accepted job
got flu
battled through it
travelled
now in process of moving to southern England with a promotion

bike will be updated ... new tube and tyre required and will update once all arrives and is running


for your time (/thrad will be updated ASAP):

also for your (ironical) viewing pleasure:
