Yeah, love the commute, and that isn't even the scenic route (seawall/False Creek/Olympic Village). I'll do a vid of that sometime. Same distance but slightly slower (more pedestrians).

I think I changed it to 7x speed because 8x was just too frantic looking. I usually takes about 50-60 mins depending on wind. (17 kms)

Road bike (kona zing) but the gravel is pretty 'tracked out' by commuters, leaving 2 strips of bare, hard earth. Still gets gritty in the wet. (It rains here a lot.)
