While my work is just merely 2 miles from here and why am I wasting my money on gas driving to my work everyday with horribly city MPG?
I bought a new bike - Electra cruiser bike. Yeah, not exact ideal bicycle to commute to work. There are several reasons behind it: First childhood bicycle - I had Schwinn coaster bike through Jr. High to High school. I rode it everywhere and loved it. Second, It has coaster braking system (to stop the bike by back pedal) which is the most comfortable and my burning mental way to stop a bike. Third, I haven't touched a bike over 20 years and I thought I'd just get similar what I had before and should be easier to get back on bike.
So, I rode it for the first time just last weekend and it did got me awkward with it. I didn't expect it to be too light and difficult to control it. lol And now, I'm getting much better after several miles around my neighborhood past few days. I aim to start using it as my primary vehicle to commute to work next week (after Labor's Day).
Anyone else is using it as commute to work or school?
