That's the key, low end beater won't attract too many thieves either. My commute is done on a single speed conversion. fondly dubbed frankencycle. It ain't glamorous but I get to work.jhamling said:A cheap one! - leaving it in the same place every day is asking to get it nicked, especially in Wandsworth.
If I could only have one bike it would be an MTB because they are just so versatile.bengyap said:Hi All:
I have a friend who wanted to buy a new bike, primarily for commuting to work. Average distance is 25km one way, four days a week. Question is: what kind of bike would you use for this purpose?
Thanks

This is because it is leveling out the playing field with those other commuters in metal boxes. I have had too many experiences with vehicle owners while riding my pedal bike.

I would have separated road and touring bikes.drewjc said:I use a MTB (hardtail) with 700c slicks and disc brakes for basically all of my riding. It is the fasest town bike i have ever ridden with the ability to launch off or onto gutters, footpaths and often over the top of slow moving cars...... it has the best all round ability along with great handling and strength for everyday riding in the toughest jungle of all. I find narrow(er than usual) bars with wrap around bar-ends give me an added sense of security when trying to squeeze through some smaller gaps especially when im in a hurry.
