I regularly commute on my Intense 5.5. Should I stop it in case people chortle at my frightfully inappropriate choice of transport? And I did once have someone pull up next to me at the lights (a ****ing roadie obviously), laugh and say “thats a bit OTT for a commute isn’t it?”
**** YOU!!! I’ll ride whatever I ****ing like!! Its hard hard work on tarmac for the direct route in, but its an absolute hoot for the extended, scenic, singletracky, rutted gully-blasting route back home! 🙂
