I finally rode to work this morning in honor of Bike To Work Day here in Colorado. I had just been riding home and far less often than I had hoped. It was gorgeous and WOW when I logged my distance,...

Yay! Rode the new bike home from work today (~16 miles). Went great, loved it. Due to rain I didn't get to do as much posterior stress testing as I had hoped to this week, so I'm really curious to...

Yay, me! I rode my new bike from my new job to home (ok, the airport but that is my second home). About 16 miles--if I ever buy a bike computer I'll find out for sure. I used to ride half that...

Size: Small

Which surprised me as in most others I was put on a medium and I had just overheard another salesman talking about how the Cannondales run small. But this was a good fit.

Argh! Anybody know the trick to actually posting pictures?

Thanks to whomever recommended looking at the Cannondale Quick for my commuter bike. Bought one today on REI's f&f sale and I think it will be just the ticket. Tried 7 different bikes over the last...

Thanks, ladies!!!

I'm liking those Jamis bikes and I appreciate the info on steel as well as the comments on crosswinds. Unfortunately, here 50 mph gusts are not that uncommon and I will be riding...

An interesting point about the weight. I have racked up a few km on actual Dutch bikes in the actual Dutch countryside and, yes, they can ride really well. My latest stint was near...

OK, I finally made it out to try some bikes this weekend. Didn't manage to find the one I was looking for but rode some Trek, Scott and Novara(?). The Novara was a 'Dutch Bike' with full metal...

Thanks for the suggestions. Weather is expected to be crummy here on Sunday so I'll see if I can find my way to a bike shop and try a few to get some ideas. Then, thanks to your suggestions, I'll...

Looking for ideas for a 15 mile commute (one way but bus is an option). Road bike? Touring? Comfort?

10 years ago I was commuting ~3 days per week, 8 miles each way to work on my <gasp> purple Huffy bike. I loved taking that hunk-o-junk in for tune-ups at my local bike shop! That job folded in 2001...
