    Long Commute - 70 miles round trip for eNoob

    Very valid points, that I really dont have a good way to address at this point. I would hope to break even when comparing to purchasing a car and maintaining/operating that, but I have not run any numbers yet. My wife says I should buy a new bike per year (Man I have an awesome wife!!!!)...

    Long Commute - 70 miles round trip for eNoob

    Its great to hear a success story from a similar commute!! I gotta say, I'm pretty impressed with the specs for the CCX. 52V with 995 Wh, wow, awesome. And I like how the motor has the clutch feature. Yeah, I can see a change in tires, seems like stock tires are typically low grade. And...

    Hello from SoCal (or soon to be!)

    Yeah, it is def long. If I could bus one leg, that'd be much better, though still challenging day in day out. From google maps, it looks like about ~half of the ride could be on bike path (can I ride a Type 3 and just 'slow down'?). And on the roads about 70%ish has a bike lane. I'll just...

    Hello from SoCal (or soon to be!)

    Cool on the bike shops. I'm planning to buy from a brick and morter, I'll need the help. Yep, I'm the head forward drop handlebar biker - if I'm riding I'm racing, which isnt always good but I dont seem to be disciplined enough to meter myself to a slower ride until I become exhausted. So...
