It is great to find such a reasonable voice on the subject of urban bicycling. You may remember that we biked together quite a bit back in the early 90's. I have been biking to work this spring in NYC on my 2005 Jamis and just love it. I have had a bit of a hiatus since I was last biking regularly. I've probably averaged 5 times a year in the last 10 years. But New York has been transformed in just the last two years, with many more miles of bike lanes than I ever remembered. Still you taught me well, and I am not shy about taking a section of roadway if there are parked cars alongside the bike path. So far so good. Best to you, Annie Paul,

Many years ago you stopped and gave me your card when you worked for the city of Boston. Good to see you're still involved with bikes. Stephanie, the Milano comes with bigger, slower tires than the Jamis, which you'll notice right out of the gate. The Jamis 3.0 is at the top of my wish list, but I think it'll have to stay there for a while. oh well. -Tony R. Hello Paul.

Alas, I must have mis-threaded a pedal, and stripped the threads on a crank. So now it is in the shop. My commute is about 6 mi, and I have found it sufficiently fast. Although I also have enjoyed riding a road bike recently, especially in warmer weather. I don't know that the Commuter would be that different from the Milano, though. Stephanie,

How do you like it? Good for an 8 mile each way commute? Stephanie Paul - I’m on the verge of giving up my Bianchi Milano for a new Jamis Commuter. How do you like it?
