south fla

Even with trains and busses you still need a bike for the 'end of the commute' and busses only have 2-3 bike places

it's easier to just assume you'll ride the whole haul and keep the bicycle in trim

F4lconF16 did you need any help in the bike still after our early discussion?
or are the links i posted enough to cover ya for diy purposes?

dunno seattle prices but if you wanna price check LBS prices i can give you south fla 'reasonable' so you don't get ripped off

to keep the ride riding, sometimes potato and leek soup thickened by oats for a week is a thing that happens
