When I moved back out to the suburbs in 1995, I continued to commute in fair weather to the train station. In 2001, I joined the Schaumburg Bicycle Club and got educated to expand my cycling beyond commuting and things snowballed from there with more than 3 quaters of my lifetime riding having taken place in that time.

Bicycles 2008 Specialized Globe City 6 700c Hybrid bike Description:  Commuter bike. This bike has a generator hub in the front wheel which powers a Lumotech front light and a rear stand light (it stays on for about five minutes after the bike stops moving). The bike has an 8-speed internal geared rear hub so not as many parts to clean for ease of maintenance. Standard equipment includes a chain guard, fenders and a rack. 2013 Odometer: 36.4 miles Lifetime Odometer: 13,905.4 miles Tires: 700 x 35C Schwalbe Marathon Supreme, front, 775 miles 700 x 35C Schwalbe Marathon Supreme, rear, 366 miles Chain: KMC Nickle plated anti-rust single speed, 366 miles generic 46T Chainring 9 speed, 366 miles generic Suguio Crank arms 9 speed, 366 miles 2004 Specialized Sequoia Road bike 2013 Odometer: 287.2 miles Lifetime Odometer: 8,915.5 miles Chain: SRAM PC-951 9 speed, 4,906 miles 1999 Specialized Crossroads Elite 700c Hybrid bike 2013 Odometer: 379.4 miles Lifetime Odometer: 16,678.2 miles Tires: 700 x 23C generic pedals, front, 4,480 miles 700 x 23C Kenda Klondike, front, 570 miles 700 x 23C Kenda Klondike, rear, 570 miles 700 x 23C generic Shimano 11x32 9-speed cassette, rear, 2,621 miles Chain: SRAM  9 speed, 248 miles 2007 Specialized S-works Roubaix Road bike Description:  Loaner bike for test ride Lifetime Odometer: 112.0 miles Specialized  700c Hybrid bike Description:  Test ride bike Lifetime Odometer: 13.2 miles Specialized XC Comp Full Susp XC Mountain bike Lifetime Odometer: 10.4 miles
