It's the same for me. Only I'm really lucky. All downhill on the way in in the morning. Ride home is a workout. For me, the ride home sometimes helps me work through work problems in my head. I'll also point out that in many ways, Rivendell bikes' versatility greatly enhances the commute. For example, shock cord on top of the loafer bag - solves many problems. Silver brakes with mountain brake levers on Bullmoose bars - this is a really low maintenance way to have good braking.
I fully agree that life is better when riding to work. -----Original Message----- >From: jimD <[email protected]> >Sent: Apr 29, 2012 7:45 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: [RBW] Why I Like Commuting On My Bike > >The past few weeks have reminded me about why my routine ~6 mile ride to and >then from work is so compelling. >It provides a mini adventure to start and end the day with. >The half hour that is usually takes relaxes me in the morning and provides >decompression in the evenings. >We have had changeable spring conditions here in the Northern Calif Bay Area. >One recent ride home turned into torrential rain at about the 3 mile mark.
