Lots of snivel gear still required for morning bike commutes from my house in Newtown, CT. Decided that comfort is better than fashion for commuting and now I am wearing a backpack rather than riding with my Timbuk2 bag. Of course, it probably would be OK if I wasn't hauling a 10 pound engineering laptop and processing power wins over everything else for the work that I am doing.
Today's ride in to work on the Qball was a mixed bag of sorts. Still trying to figure out whether or not I like the Misfit Psycles FMe bars or not. One thing is for sure, I definitely need a happier stem if I am going to continue riding with them but there in lies the dilemma. The reason I went with a lower rise stem was so that I would have good place to mount my Garmin Edge but with more rise in the stem means the Edge has to sit on the bar or somewhere else. There are mounts made for the bars but those are all made for 31.8 diameter bars and the FMe's are 25.4. I found something on line that might work that I am going to get and see how it works which will breath more life into the FMe's.
