Title: Rode Bacchetta to work today
Post by richardr on May 21^st, 2008, 9:39pm

Well.. I finally got up the nerve to ride my Bacchetta Giro 26 to work today instead of the trusty beach cruiser. I have to make about 18 stops on my 9 mile commute. I was a little concerned about problems starting, which I still have occasionally. Fortunately I am able to hit the walk button for most of the lights, which gives me lots of time to get started. I didn't check my time, but I expect it wasn't any faster than on the beach cruiser. Eventually I hope to knock 5 to 10 minutes off my commute time.

It probably wasn't any faster -- traffic light timing can make much more of a difference than avg speed. Don't worry about knocking time off, you'll just be sweatier when you get to work -- leave earlier, instead, and just enjoy the ride! ;) Knock time off on the ride HOME!!!
