Nice QB Philip and an awesome looking commute! How do you not keep riding?
Some days, not too often, when I bike commute and the weathers just right,
it takes all of my energy to turn into the office parking lot and not keep
going for a day ride. I'm sure it would be worse in SF.

I do a short commute (3 miles) in Basel Switzerland on a 1984 Trek 420
heavily Rivified (Albatross bars / Silver bar end shifters / Schwalbe
Marathon Greenguard 700c x 35/ Sugino XD-2 triple). . All city - with
buses and trams. In an ideal world, I would go with a stiffer frame,
bigger tires
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
I commute regularly on my Atlantis and my Clementine (among others) but my
favorite commuter was my Red Roscoe Bubbe, before it was stolen. ðŸ˜
The Clem L is a great commuter if you don't have to interact with any other
transports ( busses or trains), Because it rather long legged.

I like the bar end brake levers. I'm sure in traffic it makes applying the
brakes quicker. I'm thinking front rack as well when I set up a commuter
bike.

about 20 miles round trip from center city Baltimore to BWI, some hills but
nothing too serious. Riding fixed is a great workout! Fenders,generator,
front and rear lighting and front rack. I've removed the rear rack since

Thanks all for the good advice and recommendations. I do need to get back into
the commute sooner rather than later. I’m thinking any Riv but the Clem would
be perfect.

Hi Doug. No, but not for any reasons related to my experience with the
bicycle. It had to do with loss of job and medical bills. Happy to say it
resides with another RBW lister. I would not hesitate to get another, and
likely will at some point down the road. And by the way, it's capable of
Not that this chorus needs another voice, but I currently commute about
forty miles each way on one of three Rivendells - a Homer, a Bleriot, and a
Hunqapillar - and all are outstanding commuters. The latter may be a bit
of overkill, but all are fun, super comfortable, able to handle whatever
Mark, I have been considering the Clem L seriously. Do you still have your Clem
L?

I can recommend a Clementine, aka Clem L. Of all my commuter bikes, that
was definitely one of my all-time favorites. The long wheelbase, the
Boscos, the step-through--it was all just right. Very civilized but it
really cruised. My commute was 7 miles, a little hilly. I think an upright

Yeah, any Riv is made for a good commute! Just throw a cheapo front/rear
rack and basket on and you can carry all of your gear in a bag you
probably already have lying around.
