Hello from KC

I am not exactly new to biking, but new to bike commuting. I have a 10.5 mile commute that I am currently making with an old Giant Yukon MTB with road tires. I've made the trip a handful of times over the summer, and I'm looking to make it a more regular habit. Glad to find a group to bounce ideas off of.

Welcome to bike forums. Old MTB's make very good commuters.

Welcome to bike forums. I've noticed, as the years pass, commuting on bike becomes both longer and easier. Keep up the routine...
