This is as close as I found http://www.wecyclect.org/

But I will have to look into it.. again, it really depends.. odds are we will be living a bit aways from work .. and rural biking is different from city...

dig it. but then every time you golf, you gotta go with pops-in-law?

dig it. I took a look, do they sell recycled bikes?

I dig the commute. Although I nearly got hit by a street sweeper today who decided to change lanes without signaling.

I dont know, I have to look into it more.. Id easily buy a recycled bike.. but a good one- I dont care what it looks like, just how it rides. Now Im excited again about biking..

Yeah, you pretty much realize you will be hit at least once if you commute for any period of time- question is, how badly

3 times, last was the worst, sandwiched between a pt cruiser and a parked car. haven't been since nov, and hasn't stopped me yet. I was a little scraped up, bruised, nothing broken, but they sent me home from work for being dizzy/woozy. It passed.

Admittedly, i have worse luck than most.

a colleague broke his arm this past year commuting- car door opened as he passed..

do you know much about bikes? I figure Ill look once I get to CT, no reason to pack more stuff

I know alot more than when I started, i asked a ton of questions from anyone who would answer.

I'm sure Finch Platte, Dnorwood, and Flying Rabbit know more, but I'll always chime in if i feel like i can offer some experience based perspective.

I miss the days when Haro's were whoopass bmx bikes.

Don't leave it out in the rain, Robotboy. Those are bottom-shelf components (perfect for a beater-commuter) and they'll rust out quicker than you'd believe. Otherwise, spot-on for the purpose.

I've been commuting for decades now, and have only been hit 2x. Once was a love tap (young lady got flustered and barely tapped my rear tire), and the other was totally my fault.

I've been verrrry lucky, and give kudos to the car/bus drivers in this town (275,000 pop.).

Here's my commuter. The 2.5" tires and 5" travel (front & rear) sure helps with the potholes.

Glad there are so many cyclists here!

GOT THA MUTHAFUCKA

So technically what type of bike is that? Im looking at cyclocrosses..but hell Ive been happy with generic hybrids as well.

Damn, another thing to occupy my mind other than work

sounds like you need the target special. Huffy!

That's a full suspension mountain bike.

Find a shop that'll let you test a few out, then figure out what you lean towards.

Of course, no matter what you get, as you ride it for any length of time, you adapt and then, it's your bike.

Just like when you buy a new car and you gotta get used to the way it drives, brakes, corneres etc, or when you move into a new apartment, you gotta get adjusted to the new crapper...

Yeah those specialized are easy to pick out- man I have no idea.. bah.. this is what happened last time.. but anyway I have time.

Oh and Phil have you seen the Weber Grill that is 36" in diameter? jesus.. you can grill a whole cow on it lol... dont know why I thought of mentioning that here but eh

Weber Ranch Kettle, 37.5 inches in diameter, 1104 square inches of grilling surface, i dream about it.

I even posted a thread here a couple years ago when I started my obsession, but i couldn't find it.

ok yeah then that was the thread in which I realized we shared drooling over grills. Food & Wine ran a 'favorite 7 grills' article
here for your edification

I really like the BBQ Texas grill (the non-ss version).. anyhow, this is a bike thread.. sorry lol
