POPSThe commuting paradox I figured out a long time ago that I hate (hate hate HATE) commuting. A 40% raise would not be nearly enough to compensate me for adding an hour to my commute. (As it is, we live two miles from my work. I can take the bus, ride a bike, or walk. It's great.)

POPSLongtail Commuter Amazing. I need to learn how to craft a bike. The one change that seems quite obvious to me on a bike that can be used to haul a fair amount of weight would to be the addition of disc brakes. Hydraulic or mechanical, either way the stopping power would be greatly increased and you wouldn't have to worry about wet pads while carrying a huge load.
