What bike do you commute with?

My Giant Sedona with dual shocks..Heavy yet comfortable even to pick up my coffee from Quick Trip on the way...

I commute on my Bike Friday Pocket Rocket, which is a road bike. I could use one of my touring bikes, but I just don't feel the need - my skinny-tired bike is a joy to ride.

A Marin Pioneer Trail fitted with 1" slicks.

My commute is 2 flat miles, a little bit of suburbia but mostly the inner city.

I pefer the upright riding position of a flat bar in traffic, and I also prefer the upright position when I am wearing either a back pack or a messenger bag (i usually use the messenger bag).

I also use this bike, with two panniers for my grocery shopping.

I commute on a Trek 7.3fx wsd. I have the Trek grocery panniers and they carry everything I need. Papers, books and even groceries. I live in a small town, so I commute to school, (I'm a teacher) then the post office and if I need to the grocery store. These panniers hold it all and are sooooo easy to use! Just drop the stuff in. This bike also has tires that are resistant to flats. I try not to use a car for anything that isn't out of town. Everyone always asks me how many miles to the gallon I'm getting.lol. Gee, I don't even notice the gas prices...

My sunny day (no groceries) bike is my Trek 1500 WSD.

My main commuter is my cyclocross Redline Conquest Pro which is modified with fenders, rack, Ortlieb rear panniers, 12W light for riding in the dark, Shimano 520 pedals and a soon-to-come Brooks Team Pro S. My next purchase will be some Avid BB7 disc brakes as it stays pretty wet here.

It is fun to ride in all types of weather. I am fortunate in that although my commute is 18 miles, only about a mile is off the paved trail--I use the alleys when at all possible.

Vacation ends tomorrow. Whhhhaaaa!
