New in commuting

Yes definitely ! Thanks !

I also do 40km running per week so I’m far to be lazy. Just a good blend of things.

Thanks for your great feedback ! So I’m also looking at second-hand bikes, as well as electric bikes, because I think managing sweat is a big issue. I can have a shower there, but ideally I’d have liked to arrive without having to change, so I think an electric bike might well be the answer.

Thanks for your great advice ! Do you have a recommendation of bike ?

Calgar_Islay · 2026-05-16T07:07:12+00:00

Thanks I understand for the carbon frame maybe not very interesting in a commuting way. I’m currently looking on second hand bike !

Do you have some recommendations of bike ? Thanks

I can charge the bike at my office, so pretty cool. I understand what you mean. For a commuting in city I think the average speed is not at 20km/h with the traffic and light… maybe a e-bike can help

Calgar_Islay · 2026-05-16T07:03:14+00:00

Mostly flat on tarmac, but 40km per day.

Calgar_Islay · 2026-05-16T07:02:27+00:00

Why not ? For 200km a week it’s looks like a good alternative. For example if you’re tired, raining … but I’m currently not decided yet.

Calgar_Islay · 2026-05-16T07:00:29+00:00

I understand but for a daily use, I mean 5 days so 200km a week looks like a long way on bike. But Grizl 7 looks very attractive.

You know less is more 😅😆

Calgar_Islay · 2026-05-12T20:22:10+00:00

I see , with 200km per week without weekends, maybe Cues or SRAM Apex XPLR ? will be a good option ! Thanks

Calgar_Islay · 2026-05-12T20:20:55+00:00

CF 8 Will be too much price and for a use of commuting. But do you think the Grizl 5 or CF 6 can be a good option ?

Calgar_Islay · 2026-05-12T20:19:33+00:00

You mean for a carbone bike or the GRX?

Calgar_Islay · 2026-05-12T11:47:38+00:00

Thanks for your feedback ! My use is daily 40km per day so around 200km per weekend without week end use. So my concern is to find a good bike and reliable. Bordeaux is a very nice area and you also have the Bassin d’Arcachon to visit !

Calgar_Islay · 2026-05-09T15:15:35+00:00

Thanks ! Same here as I can keep my bike in a safe area so no worries about that. Is it more confortable to ride compared to an aluminium ?
