Hi All,

First time poster. I just wanted to announce my first commute on a road/cross bike happens tomorrow and I am pumped. Previous commuting done on a hybrid-style bike.

Nothing breathtaking about an 8 mile-per-way jaunt in Pittsburgh, but I'm really psyched to put the new Poprad (06 w/cantis) through its paces.

I've been lurking on this site for a while now and am grateful for all your collective experience.

Thanks

Pittsburgh=hills right?

Have fun (and no one would mind if you took and posted a few photos)!

I am sure you will get truckloads more babes while commuting on the Poprad, whatever that is. Enjoy!

Good luck on your commute. Have fun, and let us know how it went.

welcome and post pictures of your ride please

Thanks for the kind words folks! This morning's ride in was great; my new cross bike with road tires really zipped down the hills (It's during the ride home that I'll be huffing and puffing up some serious Pittsburgh hills).

I must say that the lower body position on this bike will take some getting used to, as will its maneuverability. The finest input from my hands, or a slight lean of my body gets this bike turned in a different direction. Until I get used to this degree of sensitivity, I'll be working on keeping my hands on the bike and not a camera.
