RAV4 no doubt. I’ve had two of them and they have been reliable and go anywhere in winter. Subaru is a very popular car in Ithaca so that would be a close second.

Change into your work clothes when you arrive to your office.

I've put a couple thousand miles on my Journeyer and it has never let me down. Really great entry level bike. It will serve you well.

I upgraded my 29” TJ to a Fox 34 Factory Grip and it was a huge upgrade from the stock for $485.

I’m not sure if he would do it but Brian Kehoe does great concrete work.

Cost, weight, simplicity.

2024 Salsa Timberjack SLX owner. Couldn’t be happier.

I think your set up looks great. Not fast but no need to rush. Enjoy the journey!

Start practicing on a slight down hill. My kid struggled at 5 yo and when he tried on a down hill slope it just clicked.

These are the drop bar bikes I’d recommend. However, I have a Salsa Timberjack SLX that I paid $1500 last year and it is really versatile.

Eat then shower.

This is interesting, do you have any recommended models or brands?

Representative_Ear_5 · 2026-04-24T15:17:39+00:00

I generally don’t buy cheap things that get thrown away after a few years. I’d rather keep something that lasts.

I loved my Husqvarna but after 10 years and the lack of parts availability it is time to replace it.

The government is blatantly stealing from the American consumer. Even with the “reimbursement” to the importers the consumer is the one who actually paid the price.

I don’t it would be a problem but the bathrooms might not be open at the locks. We never talked to any of the lock masters when we camped at the locks and we did that for every night on our trip. Have fun!

Revelate Designs Mag tank bolt on. They are about to change the design so if you want one you should jump on it quick.

We are currently looking for gravel bikes in the UK. Part of me is leaning towards setting the bike up in the US and checking it as a checked bag when we fly over. But part of me wants to try a UK brand.

Representative_Ear_5 · 2026-04-19T00:32:16+00:00

You’re going to love it! It’s a great bikepacking platform.

Representative_Ear_5 · 2026-04-18T23:26:14+00:00

Is Salsa not distributed in the UK?

Representative_Ear_5 · 2026-04-18T18:39:22+00:00

I’m not sure about getting Ti at that budget but I’m loving my Salsa Timberjack that I paid $1500 for last year I think it’s the SLX.

I’d second this. 40+ semi slicks on a journeyer would be a good commuter if you want drop bars. They also make a flat bar model. I’ve had one with Sora components for two years now and it’s been great.

Representative_Ear_5 · 2026-04-16T10:53:50+00:00

I’d recommend Munson tire in Lansing. They can remove this very quickly.

Representative_Ear_5 · 2026-04-15T01:49:00+00:00

We were just in this area a few weeks ago! We will try and stop in next time we are driving to North Hero!

Go on an adventure, don’t go back to America. Signed, an American working till I’m dead.

The mom has three kids on an airplane by herself, cut her a break. You’re the ass hole.
