I had been using my '91 Iguana as a commuter bike for riding to work. I'm thinking of putting a more upright stem and handle bars on that so I can continue to ride it to work when I go back to work....

When I first saw the title of your post and your name, I thought the topic was going to be about winter cycling and the excessive road salt they use in Minnesota. :)

That's the area of MN I grew up in. Yes, bring bug spray for sure. Deer flies will more of a bother when you're riding than skeeters.
