Started commuting this week in advance of National Bike to Work Month. Sure would be a nice incentive to continue.

A most excellent incentive, indeed.

That is a cool contest.. could you do an article about cyclocross bikes as commuters? Ideally comparing the cross-check, crosshairs, la cruz and others in that range?

sharp lookin commuter bike….

I’ve been commuting by bike on and off for years, and solidly since last spring.
For commuting purposes, I’m riding a department store Schwinn that I’ve modified to the point where the only original parts are the frame and wheels. Still, I’ve been looking to upgrade, and this database has given me more info and ideas in an hour than I’ve gotten in a month just browsing the web.
Nice work.

i could use a nice bike like this. :]

Round trip to work for me is 122 miles, so commuting is not an option. However I have started taking the bike to run around town on the weekend.

Love the site - been lurking for a while, just registered and made an update to the DB. It’s going to be a great resource. Thanks!
(fingers crossed for the Raleigh - I’ve been shopping for a new bike and it’s on the list!)

I commuted by bike several years ago when work was only 9 miles away one way. Now it’s about 20 and I’d set my bike aside, but with gas prices so high, I’m trying to find the safest route and start pedal pushing once more. I’m so happy to have stumbled across this site. It looks very informative. Kudos!

As it happens, I’m going on a cycling vacation (in New Mexico) during National Bike to Work Week. Should I feel guilty?

Been looking at a single speed for my 4-mile relatively flat commute. Winning that Raliegh would kind of eliminate any need to keep shopping around…

I really like the resources of this website. I have been a bike commuter after I finished college and got a real job, 20 years ago. It runs in the family, my Dad started commuting by bike in 1963.

I can’t seem to upload jpgs to the commuter bikes database. What is the size limitation?

I’m taking delivery of a new Jamis Commuter 3.0 tomorrow, but I’m sure I could put the Raleigh to good use as well…

It may be the “last day to register to win” this bike… but at least this model (or the Raleigh Sojurn) is a bike I’d actually want to ride. Check the wheelbase — these steel models are 1060 mm or thereabouts. There’s a reason they are “all day comfortable” — because the short wheelbase ultra-stiff frames are not.

My buddy just had his second bike stolen today in NYC. The first had a cheap U lock and he watched from two blocks away as a guy opened it with a two by four and road away. So, with the second he went to a hardware store and bought five feet of their heaviest chain and a big lock, made in China. Today he left work, looked for his bike and found the popped lock on the ground.
So, I just sent him the link to this funny but serious video lesson in bike security:

If I win this Raleigh I will gift it to him, after he buys a serious lock and chain!

I like to read all the reviews on this site. There is alot of cool info.
I have learned more about what makes a good commute and a good commuter bike.

…as a guy who’s been cycling a long time & being an ex-industry person, (w/ some nice bikes to my name) i tend to wanna see nice giveaways like this raleigh go to newer &/or younger cyclists…folks who might better “benefit” from it, if you will because it will encourage enthusiasm which will hopefully be shared…
…but i’ll be honest w/ you, that “raleigh one way” had me wondering how much self restraint i actually had…i’m proud to say, for my own reasons that i didn’t register to try & win it but that is a damn nice looking bike…
…i’m not sure if i’m dealing w/ maturity, senility or insanity here, but good luck to you guys & whoever wins it is gonna enjoy that bike…no doubt about it !!!…

So, who ended up winning this contest? I never saw an announcement or anything. Congrats to whomever. How’s the bike?

Well, I guess I didn’t win. But who did? Can we get an update to see how they love the new Raleigh?
