    Anyone bike to work?

    I want to bike to work over the summer. Anyone bike regularly to work longer than 15 mins and if so what do you use for a bike (or recommend?)
    Ma che cazzo state dicendo? :|

    I have a Raleigh M20 not to be confused with the engine. Great bike that i've had for a bunch of years now. I don't even know if they make that model still.

              MD has zero BUI laws.
              can get civil tickets for being drunk in public, disorderly conduct, and being a nucants, also can be arrested for being drunk in public, but none of that will get me points on my license nor affect insurance.


              so i'll take those over driving lol

                      If you don't live in a hilly area, any cheap single speed will do the trick. Scour craigslist or go to bikedirect.com.

                          I ride my bike everywhere. Most of the time if I anticipate it being an under 15 mile round trip, I take the bike.

                          I only have to fill up my car every month to month and a half!

                            I started a few months ago.

                            Used to be 8 Miles one way. So about 16 miles a day was my commute. The day job's office moved closer. Now it's ~3 Miles one way. Yeah, there is almost no reason to drive. Currently I don't own a car. It's barely 15 minutes one way now, don't even work up a sweat. Of course I live in Phoenix, that will change on the way home soon with our climate.

                            I ride an old GT mountain bike I got for $100 off craigslist, it's relatively light for a mountain bike with front suspension. I'd like to get a commuter/city bike though, since I can avoid the only patch of dirt if I wanted to. I'm sure I'd be faster on something lighter/not as bulky.

                              Can't do that across the CT river no bridge to get to there. Plus I'd need to tow my trailer for my PUB's and Gear.
