may 1, 2006 part one

in the past months i have been starting to use my bike as a means to commute with more and more. not having my driving license has given me more the reason to hope on the bike and get going to a local store or other destination.
with my job being on stand still due to epilepsy, and a half finished college degree i enrolled into raritan valley community college for the summer. my only trouble is how to get there. have bike, will travel!
looking at various styles and models ive come to an almost certain decision on my "commuter" so i didnt have to leave my cannondale outside locked up all the time. after doing more than a weeks worth of research (a week is a long time when you dont have a job to be at) this is the bike im going to get...

its made by Kona, a company that started with mountain bikes and eventually introduced road bikes too. in addition to the bike alone i will be outfitting it with all types of neat accessories! a quick release back rack...

and a LARGE back "trunk"...

eventually the addition of panniers or "saddle bags" will come to allow room for books, and maybe a laptop...

and i will be adding relective tape all over the bike in case i am commuting in the dark at times...


wish me luck in turning into a full time bike commuter!
