Santa Cruz Blur XC with Rohloff

About 10 - 14km each way depnding on which route I take, mostly off road, along the riverbank, through the nature reserve and back along the canal.
I'm on a shift rota, so two weeks out of three I ride either to or from work in the middle of the night.

Not your typical 'commute' bike but i also use it as a proper mtb so it does perfectly.

Weighs about...er,,, 12 tonnes. Gets me fit though and its comfortable.

Oh and it glows in the dark. Which i guess is a good enough reason for using it to commute on!

Seat 62K by preference, which is upstairs and much quieter. I like the extra space the exit gives you and the window seats have much better luggage stowage in the windowsill boxes. The only problem is, the port is usually a little cold.
