Hi everyone... I am moving close enough to my (new - hopefully) job to commute on a bike!I work at a university, so my chances of getting my bike stolen are probably pretty high. I have been looking on ebay and Craig's list (I don't want to buy from the latter because I think people sell a lot of stolen bikes there). Anyhoo... ideas on cheap-ish commuters? Where to look? LBS? They seem pretty expensive and also would prefer to sell me something new. Best locks? Best panniers? Best rack to put the panniers on? I'm so excited that I will be able to ride to work soon!
- BTW, I'm totally jumping the gun on saying I already have the job, but it really does look like a sure thing... keep fingers and toes crossed for me. If anyone has a 52 cm or 50 cm commuter that I can at least put cyclocross tires on, I'm totally interested!
