Commuting and erranding also makes up the majority of my cycling here in Saint Louis, MO (where the hot and sticky levels are properly high). I have 3 or 4 bikes I'll do my 4 mile one way commute on. I find changing up bikes every few weeks (as weather allows... fender season is fender season) keeps things fresh and fun. Same could be said for a handlebar change or some other component change. One of said commuter bikes is fairly new and is an Omnium cargo bike. Expanding the amount of errands I can accomplish via bicycle has been enormously fun. I encourage anyone who thinks they could make use of a cargo bike to pull the trigger.
