Right chaps, I've just applied for a new job that will increase my commute from five miles to nearly twelve.
At the minute I use a mountain bike that I've commuterised to suit me. Looking at route planning options it is estimating my new commute at anyting between 1 hr 10 and 1 hr 56! I dont want it to take that long to get to work!!!!
I need to go faster! What would be an ideal bike? I'd still want to use panniers/mudguards etc. Its very hilly (which is why I use mountain bike - I need the gears) and I don't think I'd get on with drop bars.
Any thoughts?
