Even though i don't have my coker fixed, i decided to uni to work yesterday. The weather was super nice and i have a very pleasant 'route' (http://tinyurl.com/8meqf).
Distance was about 7 miles each way. I was riding a UDC 24" muni with a Hookworm tire and a KH air saddle. 1:22 going to work, 1:26 coming home.
A pleasant route makes all the difference, and good weather helps as well. This year I started commuting to work by uni and it makes work a little more bearable after getting a workout on the way. 🙂
I started going the direct route which is about 3.5 miles, but then got bored and worked out a few alternatives. My favorite is a 6.5 mile route that avoids much of the traffic and has the advantage of more shade.
