Replacement Bike 1 of 2 -- The Commuter

[NbyNW]

Hi all -- I introduced myself to this message board back in February looking for my wayward little red Rodriguez -- still no sign of it, but for my sanity I must move on . . . I'm working with my insurance company to get a replacement "of like kind," but in the meantime, I began to think practically about my commute -- I just started this job in October, so I haven't done it on a bike yet -- it's about 5-6 miles but there is no bike storage at my office. So I got in touch with an old friend of mine at Dahon, and he set me up with this incredibly cool piece of equipment. I'll be able to stash it under my desk!

It's a 2007 Speed Pro TT. Specs can be seen at http://www.dahon.com/archive/2007/intl/speedprott.htm

I'm taking it in on Saturday to get tuned. I can't wait to ride it!

Thanks again to all the support from everyone when my previous bike was stolen --

Not the best picture, as the room I'm in is tiny -- I had trouble getting far away enough to fit the bike in the frame, but I had to put it against that dark blue wall!

I'm about to hop on my Speed P8 and ride tow ork and stash it under my desk

I considered that bike, but ended up with a Bike Friday. Folding bikes are so great because you can take them and store them in places that full-sized bike can't go, like under desks and in airplanes and on trains. So sorry that your Rodriguez has not made a triumphant return.

what a beauty, Jocelyn! I'll look forward to riding through the tulips with you and your gorgeous new bike next week!

I also like the poster of the chrome bumpered 'B' in the background -- Safety Fast!

I hope you love the bike. and pet it while it waits under your desk.

That looks great! If I had a real job I would so get a folding bike...

Awesome Dahon, Jocelyn! I hope it brings you many happy miles of smiles.
