Hey, KFergos, is that a Poprad? How do you like it??? I was THIS close to buying that bike (well, the 2006 version in pumpkin orange) instead of the Bianchi pictured on this thread. Actually had a deposit on it. Really hard decision -- the Bianchi ultimately felt snappier to me and I liked that -- but the Poprad steel is sooooo smooth...
I think the Lemond is actually much prettier than my Bianchi too...
Be curious to hear what you think of it...

Wow I hope you guys with the super nice commuters aren't locking them up outside. I wish I could use my road bike to commute. It'd take no time at all to get everywhere. I do have my mom's old hybrid that I stuck some stickers on with me though
(no pictures of it though). A friend of mine just got a 27 year old cruiser that used to be her boyfriend's mom's and I fixed it up a little for her today, but now I want to go buy one. It rides so smoooooth. But I already have two bikes and that just seems unnecessary

Nah, we've got a fantastic bike room in the parking garage where I work. It requires a key fob for access, and only those who use the bike room have their fobs activated. There are wall hooks for probably 40 bikes, and great locker rooms with four showers. Here's what it looks like.

Wow! And just think - I'm sure that costs less than a massive parking garage
What an incentive to commute

Wait a minute - is that a green tandem or an extracycle at the back of the room?
Really cool room indeed. It must cost A LOT LESS per parking spot than a garage.

The green bike is a custom tandem. It's ridden by a guy who's about 6'6" and his wife is about 5'. He drops her off at another of our buildings about a half mile away, then rides to our building. Originally Posted by Grog

To qualify for a spot in the building, you have to have a carpool of at least two people, and it costs about $80 a month (as opposed to $12/day at the garage next door.) There are apparently a lot of fake carpools, as most of the people seem to drive in by themselves.

DebW - is that a Planet Bike 3Beamer you've got on the front there? Do you find it lights up the road very well, or do you use it just to be seen?

Yes. I just use it to be seen. Doesn't light the road well at all as it has a very narrow beam. I use a helmet-mounted MiNewt to light the road after dark. Originally Posted by kfergos

Does this count?
It's kinda my multi tasking bike. It's a doggie exerciser, commute to the play area, haul stuff to remote locales. I somehow lost my front fender thingy so I can't clip it on.

WOW what a great bike/locker room.
Here's my commuter, my Trek 7100. I need to get a bag for the back/rack.

Is your tri bike going to be your commuter bike?
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

'bucks in the bottleholder!
OMG! I have a thermos just like that! There are no 'bucks here, and I just don't want to do Dunkin
Green tea anyone?
Surgtech- you are probably very safe with a 2 door hard top. It's the dumb four door tops (Freedom top aka Freeflow top)that are leaking like a 1980's trans am T-top (Remember THOSE!).
Rescue green rocks! Hey if you are ever in Mass, we can take pics- momma Jeep and baby Jeep!
