Ok I read all the encouragement about commuting. My ride is 11 miles in heavy traffic. My school does not have showers so I will have to bird bath when I get there. I can realistically do this only on Tuesdays cuz I have to run other errands on the way home every other day of the week! Those miles would simply be too much.

I think I have a great commuter...Giant Sedona DX. She is comfy and sturdy. Wish me luck.
