The name pretty much implies the connection to this thread..... The commute varies between 30+- 40+, depending on weather and route. I've got the distinct pleasure of having the majority of the ride parelleling some of the most picturesque landscape in Ct, so on beautiful days the longer the better.

Last year was really the first year, doing it on my road bike; but combination of back pack and road bike posture was too much. Not to mention the first "ding" from some boob at the bike rack, sent me over the edge! So invested a few bucks in a nice commuter bike (Specialized Globe City) with racks and self generating lights. It's already paid for itself; rather than paying for gas, parking.

Spread the good word- CT (and Hartford area) slowly becoming a bike friendly community-YEAH!
