The bike has 24 gears apparently, but I've only used about 4 of them. Not sure why you need to many gears. I'm currently using it to commute to work. Now I haven't ridden a bike for about 10+ years, yet I can get to work in just over 15 minutes. Using public transit it takes 25+ minutes. So quicker and better for me. Plus it looks like the transit may strike on Monday so it's the best time to buy a bike.
Of course when you buy a bike and you have no car you need to ride it home. When I picked it up on Monday night it was from the store at Yonge and Eglington. About 8km north-east of here. First time on bike in so many years, yes that was a fun cycle home. At least it was mainly downhill.

By some weird coincidence I ordered myself a new bike on Sunday too. It's a Giant Rincon.
It's more for fun though - I don't think a 30 mile cycle to work is really sensible.

Yeah I just got mine last week. I only got it for fun, but then started immediately cycling to work.
