So, I decided to retire my fuji track from commuting. My knees are still dodgy, the tyres are scarey in the wet, and the brakes even moreso. In it's place, I've dug out an old dawes xc hardtail, given it fat tyres (well, 1.5"), disc brakes and many and varied gears. Just did a test ride; it is awesome. Rides like a tank. Came down the leigham court road bunny-hopping every single speed hump. Genuinely looking forward to commuting now. Just hoping I don't get 20+ roadies up my back first time I have to hit the brakes.
