New Commute

[ukstevem]

So i'm psyching myself up for a cycle commute, probably starting on a friday (not this friday), its 25 miles each way, and i'm doing it on a mountain bike. Its all road riding, i have done it before on a weekend with 2.2" tires, i have just changed to Continental Double Fighters which roll a lot better. Any advice out there?

Enjoy it! I wish you good speed and a following wind.

Will you be doing this 50 mile round commute every day (5 day) ?

Mountain bike? Lock out the suspension (if you have any), and fit non-knobbly tires. 25 miles is a long way, and I wouldn't want to do it on anything other than my road bike.

Fuel and water will be required.

Those Double Fighters make a big difference, I switched to them too. They're a lot less noisy too lol
