I live in Chico, Ca, Suposidly the most bike friendly town? Ive rode bikes off and on as a kid now im 18 and have no desire for a car sooo that leaves me with a bike!!! I now bike to school and around town everyday and love it. I do all this on a ****y target bike that squeks and rattles. Now that im really starting to love biking a new bike is a must so im saving up now. Bikes are so much more rewarding then cars.

I commute to work 41km each way, each day 5 days a week. I don't think of it as training though; just the best way to get to work. I live in Shirley, MA and commute to Marlborough, MA.

Hi
i'm from belgium, south-east flanders (the heart of Ronde van Vlaanderen - Tour de Flanders). that's very close to the homes of peter van petegem & robbie mcewen (and some other less known pros)
i'm student and in my spare time i enjoy to ride my bike here, especially the nasty little hills and the cubblestone streets (like Paddestraat; which should sound familiar with the real, die hard cycling fans)

Hi. I'm from the Boston area. I finally gave in last spring and bought a bike so I could ride with my husband (who rides both on and off the road). I stick to the road right now, but am interested in branching out. I sit at a computer all day, but get to commute 2x a week, which I love. I am fortunate that my company has a gym and showers. Wish I could do it everyday but someone has to take care of the kids! I get in about 50 miles commuting, and hubby and I try to get out about once a week for a 30-50 miler. I am trying to find some women to ride with now.
My dad is a roadie, so I grew up with bikes, but when I moved out here 15 years ago my bike was stolen, and I never really replaced it (I have a city bike to tow the kids around, but nothing fast). After I got over the sticker shock (over a pretty basic bike I have to admit), I decided that the kids don't need any new clothes, toys or extracurricular activities and gave in to the bug. I'm trying to figure out how much I save by commuting.
My bike completes me

Great to hear from you, do you get a change to see an of the 'great spring classics'. One day when I get back to Europe I hope to get a change to see some of the spring classics, six day track, and one of the three great tours.

Yes, even in the winter.Originally posted by larry barr
Throughout the winter as well? If so, you are a true warrior.

I live immediately north of Toronto and have been cycling on and off since 1969.
Have recently bought a replacement road bike (I gave my 1989 Gardin/105 away 3 years ago) and started riding AGAIN!! at the age of 50.
Have only been commuting 35 km. per day for 2-3 days a week so far, but would like to increase to 5 days per wk. and 1 or 2 70 km. rides a month.
Does anyone have a secret regarding getting your partner interested in long-distance rides?

Hello:
Am from your neck of the woods, Richmond Hill. I also ride a Gardin, had it custom built by Joe before he past away.
Where do you work? What route do you take to work? Ride on week-ends?
