My Bikes

I suppose I should provide a bit of info regarding what I'm riding.

My "mountain bike", that I am using to commute right now, is actually a circa 1990 Huffy "Canyon" model. Nothing spectacular about it. The derailleur has H.I.S. stamped on it (I thought that was a clothing company?), and I can't find much info about it. It's pretty crappy, but it works for me. The brakes are OK, and it seems pretty solid. I've replaced the inner tubes with the "no-more-flats" solid tubes, so the ride is not as smooth as it could be, but at least I don't have to worry about flats.

I have a Centurian Accordo road bike (circa 1980's) that is actually a pretty good bike. But, I hesitate to ride it on the Greenbelt because of all the root damage along certain sections of my route.

Last night I ordered some small panniers from Amazon with the intent of replacing the backpack I'm currently using. The lower part of my back gets sore, and I'm blaming the backpack at this point. We'll see if the panniers (Sunlite Travellers) will help.

Other than that, all I'm outfitted with is a pair of gloves and a sweatband. I wear a t-shirt during the ride and change into other shirts at the office. Since I'm lucky enough to not have to "dress for success", I can wear shorts almost all the time. (I wear shorts from early April to late October anyway).
