I started commuting to work before starting spring break so it’s more like week 1 again!
4 miles mostly flat a few hills from NE Minneapolis to S Minneapolis if we have anyone from the area you know!
I originally got this bike just to ride around with friends or family but I decided to get into shape and started to bike 4.5 miles to work. The first week my wrists hurt so bad from the ride that I went into my local cycle store and tried different bars and liked how the Surly Cornerbars felt and they had a 10% discount for new customers so I said why not lol I tried using a single speed with drop bars before and either the bike wasn’t my right size or my newness impeded me from enjoying them. Still new to this world but I loved every pedal two weeks ago!
It has a Shimano 9 Speed 11-34t Cassette and it works for me but sometimes climbing a hill I feel like I’m a gear to low and then shift and it’s too high? Maybe it’s just me?
I like knowing the speed I’m traveling just because so I have the speedo I took of another bike that was given to my brother. Avg 10 mph so I’m super proud of that! I make it to work on time without working too much of a sweat so it’s perfect!
What do you guys think rock the milk crate or just bungee my bag straight to the Topeak rack?
