When do people change from their winter bike/commuter to a summer commuter? Do people actually make any distinction or just always commute on the same thing?
I'd like to try and do the weekly shop after work on my nicer bike with gears and a rack so I can load panniers, but they are out gritting the roads tonight, so I'd rather not risk rusting it up. Am I being fussy or is this a wise choice?
I use the same bikes year round. Just clean them(especially the drivetrain) regularly! Both of my bikes are more winter bikes anyway though. I probably wouldn't want to ride something with skinny tyres and no guards all year.
