Speed wise it's what is comfortable or hurts best. It's individual and
personal. Go fast go slow ... Choose where you have the most fun.. Cramps and
pain later be damned. My opinion only
On tour I don't like being all sweaty and try to just go.. I also rarely travel
more than 50 to 60 miles
I do, and I'm sure there's a lot of that around the bunch. My preferred combo
is my Sam H. with a large Saddlesack and dynamo lighting. Seattle weather be
damned!

I commute every day on my Saluki, year 'round, rain or shine. In terms of
miles ridden over the last couple years for me, it's about 10:1 commuting
miles vs "recreational" riding miles. Riding the Saluki, even if it's only
the 8 miles/day back and forth every day to work, is *such* a pleasure.
