With gas prices hovering somewhere between “high” and “holy %&$ that’s expensive”, more people than ever are commuting to work on two wheels rather than four. Trek’s Gary Fisher Gritty Commuter bike is a great set of (two) wheels for this switch. Simple single-speed, hybrid tires, a distinctively un-hipster look make this a great ride. There is, of course, the caveat of managing to ride our out of shape asses to work without breaking out into a sweaty mess, but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.
