I commute on my Quickbeam, too. Fixed two speed (almost never shift), front basket, fenders, dynamo lights. There's a pack on the back of the basket with a lock and minimal tool kit. Having a basket and net is the key to a useful bike, for me.
My riding time is about half an hour. I ride the bus to San Francisco, and then wheel along the waterfront to downtown SF. If you could find a Quickbeam or SimpleOne, I'd recommend it very highly for commute duties. <https://scontent-atl3-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/56ceb6c105e91b29eb7c3d6c662c95d9/5C109A36/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/s750x750/34065693_257345738339678_2849576239570616320_n.jpg> Philip Santa Rosa, CA On Sunday, July 22, 2018 at 1:16:44 PM UTC-7, JohnS wrote: > > My Quickbeam has been my commuter for the past 6 months.
