decided to give the bike commute a go for Bike to Work Week. picked a route with the help of google maps and set off. I usually need my car during the day so I left it at work and rode home last night, back in this morning - 20 miles each way in an hour and a half averaging 14 mph. pretty nice ride with alot of scenery typical of the agro/industrial history of the lehigh valley pa

Nice work dude. I try to ride in twice a week and I do about a 20 mile route as well. It can be a pain to get clean clothes and food in the days before and get the dirty ones home, but once you're in the routine it's not bad.

Very nice! It's a goal of mine to be able to bike commute to work at some point. I need to be in better shape first, and then a bike that's actually suitable for road use.
