Show us your commuter! Inspired by Andrea's thread...

Mimi if you were trying to make me jealous it worked!!!! I love that rack. I love the fact you have a rack indoors that you can put your bikes in. I wonder if other places are going to catch on. The place I am consulting at right now was 'contemplating' showers for their renovation but it got canned. Oh please. A cubicle size shower room. What could it hurt? There is a guy that used to run at lunch. He would shower in the woods with a 'camp shower'. No. We won't be doing that.


No, you don't don't drink the drip coffee at crackbuks. Only the latte or capp for me. Beyond that it turns into Dairy Queen with all the whipped stuff and syrup.

You know what cracks me up? People that think there are no calories in that stuff. I was reading this one website where this woman said "I had no idea it had 600 calories" about one of the whipped cream extravaganzas. Uh. Whipped Cream. Caramel? No? hahaha...

I just can't deal with DD because when I go in there I want to give all those lonely donuts a home. SOOO LONELY.

Can't you get the coffee in the store? They sell DD coffee in some of the grocery stores out west, I believe I saw it in Safeway. There is are not many DD out west. I think there's like 10 in CA!

And where can I find a cup holder for my bike? Seriously, there was a guy at a bikeshop in Tahoe that had one. Now I have a need. And a hamburger bell.

We do have the coffee in a few stores here, but its not the same. Maybe its the styrofoam cups (i know, horrible for the planet) or maybe the crack they put in, but ya hafta get the stuff from a DD.

I'm sooo sad I don't have my newest commuter built up yet. She's a sexxxy steel dark green Soma double cross and will have moustache bars, brooks saddle, drive train from my old univega carbolite... I will bump this thread and post a pic when she's alive. For now I ride a trek 7.5fx disc (aka the cop bike). she gets the job done.

Ok, I THINK I'm finally done putting stuff on her, at least for every day things. Here's an updated pic:

F8th: I'm having commuter envy! She's gorgeous!

Is your rear rack designed that way or do you have some sort of extension thingy? What make/model is it? I love how it's level and elevated

Btw, she's a beaut

I actually just installed that rack this weekend. I bought it via Amazon.com from Niagara Cycle Works. It is the Sunlite Bicycle Welded Spring Rear Rack, Black. The directions that come with the thing are a waste of time. If you read the comments someone left about how to install it and especially the pictures someone added on that site you will save yourself A LOT of time. It actually comes with two lengths of those metal bars that attach to the bike. The higher elevation is nice for pedal and wheel clearance but it makes finding a place for your saddle bag rather difficult. The rack was a great investment though. It replaced the one I had before that was just attached via zipties around the seatpost. Same height and everything but this Sunlite rack is definitely made for bikes like mine with the proper eyelets. Hope that helps!

I must take a picture tonight of DH's new Kona Jake. It is such a lean, mean commuting maching. I wish I had bought one for me- shhhh don't tell my commuter.

Here's my new custom commute bike. I got a custom road bike last year and it made such a difference that I ordered a commute bike from the same builder. Also included a pic of the two bikes together.

Cool looking commuter! I love the matching saddle and handlebar ends. Looks like a very purposeful bike.
