Into a car??!! Eeek! I was hoping for a "no way, that would NEVER happen!!" kind of response. Too bad for me. Well, I've recently moved closer to school, and my new route is less exposed, houses and medium hills, so maybe it won't be so bad.

DH says he likes when the SE winds in the morning shift around to NE by the end of the work day.
Works well on HIS commute!

Try riding in the wind in a safe area (bike path, neighborhood?) and see how riding in the wind feels. It isn't a "No way!" but I think it is much less likely on a Townie.
BTW- Post a picture of your bike. I have complete Townie envy!Amanda
