    Default Giant Trance commuter

    This is just funny. Talk about too much bike for the application.

    I may have to grow old, but I'll never have to grow up.

    Proper tire pressure on a road bike will get you where you need to be faster and comfortably. As well as knowing the streets you ride and actively avoiding potholes. Never once in almost 3 years of daily commuting have I even desired a full suspension bike for commuting.

    Too much rotational mass to get going at every stop sign/light.

    LOL, I saw what was either a 36er or 32er at the Silvis Walmart last week. It looks like an old Cadillac by how freakishly long the wheelbase is.

    Yeah, I think Walmart sells some crappy 36-ers now.
