Andrew Goodell  > Bikes > Bikes
I sold my car when I moved to Ithaca, NY and use primarily use these bikes to get around. I also use the TCAT buses around the county for many of my non-commuting trips. We use Kathy's car about 1-2 times a week for groceries and events, as well as the occasional longer trips.

Andrew Goodell > If it's snowy, slushy, or just seems like either the roads are crummy or too salty, I ride this mountain bike. The chain is rusty, the gears are rusty, and no matter how I try to fix the derailleurs I can't get all 3 chain rings. I only use the mid and large chain rings though. The panniers are great to keep my stuff protected in the bad weather too, although they aren't waterproof.
Andrew Goodell > 3 reflectors and a flashing light in back. The fenders keep me from getting soaked from below.
Andrew Goodell > A headlight attached on the front. I still haven't used the front racks, although I would like to bungee things there occasionally.
Andrew Goodell > The headlight battery straps well to the frame.
Andrew Goodell > If the ground is mostly dry, I take the road racing bike. I bought this used for $600 in NH, and added aerobars, waterbottle cages, and the rear light. I mount the headlight on the end of the looped aerobars, and strap the battery to the base of the aerobars. My GPS can also mount on the end of the aerobars. The gearing is 52/40 by 11-23 which has made my legs much larger from 800ft of climbing everyday!
Andrew Goodell > Thin, light, aerodynamic. I recently upgraded my rear light to a superflash. I only use the flashing mode in poor conditions, since the solid light is very bright.
Andrew Goodell > I've been thinking of getting narrower handlebars, mostly for comfort but it would also help aerodynamics and resting against walls too.
