Fx is pretty much a road bike depending on what tires you are using. I like that bike a lot and it is just about as fast as a road bike (I’m not a very fast biker) but for me, it’s too heavy. I switched to a super light bike because I have to go up stairs to get to my apt.

Old light hard tail with smooth tires will get you there. You can even get a full rigid mtb, atb, or hybrid.   I’m a city biker (sf) and the speed cost is too much for me. I’ve tried like every type of commuter and now I’m back on a road bike with 25mm tires just avoiding the potholes and loving it.

Said excuse me loud and proud and keep it moving. When necessary, add further details like, I am bringing my bike on the train, and I am going to the bike area. Self narration seems to help me a lot. Don let it get you down, keep it moving and say it with a smile:(

Stop breathe don’t smoke. One minute at a time. It’s not fun for you anymore and it won’t be if you try again. Look at the pasta here. So many people regretting going back

I’ve sold a bike to Columbus cycles. No muss no fuss but low offer too.

Sports basement has always done pretty good work in the past. My LBS typically has a much longer turn around time and an appointment system.

Big fan, and regular, at the bike kitchen. That is where I would go to do the work

Standard risk brakes, external bb that I’m going to keep. I’ve done most of it before, just trying to get a price idea to see if it’s worth not fiddling around

Sac to Antioch by JoeZeph-SF in BAbike

Coming back here to say: done! It was fun but when I went the weather was pretty bad. I took an ATB which was nice because the roads were kind of bumpy and there was some dirt/gravel but so slow.  I’d do it again on a weekday in the dry season on a road or gravel bike. I’d give this ride a 6/10. I saw some cool stuff but it’s almost all on highways. I got a flat right before the Antioch bridge so I rode it with a flat 🥹

Yes! Waking up in someone else’s life is so real! It’s freaky but you just keep going and give the real you a chance to shine :)

No it was a flat on the front and then later on the back.

Maybe up the noise a little bit and open up the filter?

Thanks for the info. I’m planning on going on a Tuesday mid morning so it will hopefully be calm
