  1. i use an older schwinn 14 speed with drop bars. i have a trunk rack and bag and use a backpack for my gear. i got the bike used for $40 and have about another $20 in the rack/bag. i am a teacher so i must carry lots of stuff. 12 miles one way, it is a pretty good trip and it is a blast to commute. there are lots of nice flat bar bikes that are made for commuting, i think touring bikes could also be used easily because they are easy to hook racks to.

    have fun, be safe!


  2. How far, fast, hard, often?  What are you used to?  What do you see yourself on?  Pavement only? Shortcuts on dirt roads or single track.  Panniers for office stuff and clothing and lunch and...?

    try these links;

    "Which is a better bike, a Trek or a Specialized?

    Or Cannondale or Orbea or Scott or Schwinn or Cervelo. We're asked "Which brand is better?" almost daily. While each brand has its diehard fans, we can't answer the question. It's not because of any political reason, but because it's not the right question to ask--you're buying a bicycle, not a brand. .."
