Good. I think this two bike idea is a good one. And I think lowering the saddle height was good. It's been a little over a week, and I'm not fighting against my flexibility limits when I stretch, it seems like I'm getting more limber. It's not uncomfortable to hop on either bike anymore, whether it's first thing in the morning or after I've already put in the day's commuting miles. I rode the Voyageur today. I had a good tailwind on the ride into work and managed to ride for a few miles in 50/14 combo. It's a faster bike than my hybrid. I made it door to door in 45 minutes including a 5 minute stop at the same perceived effort that would take me an hour on the hybrid. The hybrid is really pretty good up to about 16 or 17 mph. The Voyageur feels like it comes alive at about 15.
