Show us your Commuting Bike !

[WelshSossy]

My Boardman Hybrid Comp. I only commute 1.5 miles each way to work, so have dual purpose Shimano pedals, and fitted the Ergon GP5 grips earlier this week. Took my SKS chronoplastic mudguards off though for the summer (not like we have a summer these days though)

Here's my commuter and general purpose all round bike. Planet X Kaffenback SRAM RED, with 25mm tyres and SPD if I'm riding purely on road and 35mm Marathon+ with Wellgo MG1 flats if I'm on trails or a mix.

The pic is on my commute to work too.

Very nice

what your average speed on this?

My 12yr old workhorse and still going strong. I use this bike now as an emergency backup.

Built this bike from the cheap Raleigh frame I purchased in January this year. Mixture of old and new parts plus the wheels I built myself. Good comfy bike for the commute.

My trusty commuter of almost 4 years

On of these is going to be my next purchase. It has a 2-speed SRAM which automatically changes up at 15kph.

Going to try to order one at the w/end.

May I ask the name of this beautiful creature?

It's an Azor Schokland. Azor is a Dutch bike maker, but I think they have distributors in the UK if you want to get one.

You won't find much on Azor's website - they pride themselves on a zero marketing budget! I previously had one of their more traditional looking bikes which was fantastic (it got nicked unfortunately). It seemed to be virtually indestructable and required almost no maintenance. Great bikes - highly recommended!

Haha yes the website wasn't too helpful was it? Not even a pricelist! But it really looks like a beautiful bike. I'm a little curious about the type of posture you would have to assume in order to ride it. Not one for those with bad backs I'm guessing.

I use my ridgeback panorama in the summer but use a Trek FX electric bike in the winter.

And my commuter - Claud Butler Levante converted to drops by me.

Just picked up this little ripper for my short commute and about town. Really chuffed with it. Should be nice after a spruce.

*and once I've flattened that saddle!

Recently acquired a Giant Defy 3 frame & my LBS built it up with parts from my now retired Peugeot Performance. Will use it as my winter training / commute bike.
