>how far do you bike to and from work? Where do you live?
8.5 miles one way.
Rural NE USA, fairly hilly area.
>do you bike in your work clothes?
Only when warm or if I’m not bar tending. Otherwise I wear some shit joggers and a spare tshirt. Ima need a bike bag, though. I need recomendations: frame bag, top tube bag, or saddle bag for one do-it-all? I’ve only got to pack spare tube, patch kit, jeans/T-shirt/flannel, and wallet/phone/keys.
>what is your bike of choice?
My low-end trek road bike. Basically my only choice but also a really good one. It’s actually fast enough that I can crush hills and average a good speed, and my tarmac is preeeetty good quality actually so I don’t have to dodge dip duck dive dodge
>gear recommendations?
Lights are a necessity, as is a patch kit pump and inner tube. If only for peace of mind.
>do you wish you drove?
Never when I actually end up on my bike, but sometimes the ride home is a real bitch. But even then I always feel satisfied when I make it home. Sometimes I drive in anyway, it’s not fun to bike home at 8:30pm on a dark windy night with cars flying by at 60mph. There are some gravel farm roads I could take but my bike can only fit 32mm slicks at the absolute max... might try it anyway.
