My commuter was built up from a bare frame.

Sweet commuter. That thing looks like a stealth bomber.

Building on the stealth bomber theme, I had this bikein the office for an age so decided to take it home via man-power last Monday night.

30 miles later, and after a request to stay the night in a tesco express refused, I arrived home. Arse on fire.

Running a 44/12 was fine for my old blast 12 mile commute from Ealing to central London. The 30 mile one way might be a bit of a stretch.....
 
6 miles each way most days and once a week (rising to twice I hope) with the club that requires a bit of logistics to make sure the right clothes are in the right place!
 
Well done Retrobikers - 54% is a great figure. We're lucky to live close enough to work to do it. I cycle commute every day without fail, rain or shine; only a 5 mile round trip but it's enough to keep base fitness ticking over.
On grim and rainy days, or when i need shopping i ride this old Marin,

bikes stay in the office during the day, in fact I leave one there all the time just in case I want to ride home after having to take the car (wife takes the car home)
 
5 days a week when I'm working....5 miles each way.....get there nice and awake and full of cycle joy....by the time I've ridden home I've already forgotten about work :D .....

.....journey time by tube if it's working properly 40mins door to door........cycle time between 23-28 mins (28 mins in winter gear)...

......and all it costs is chains and brake pads :D
