My Step-Daughter just got her drivers license, and she will start driving herself to school (25 miles one way) using my Wife's old car (02 Sentra with 208,000 miles). We ordered a new 2012 Ford Focus 5-door SEL, but it won't show up for another 8 weeks. In the mean time the Wife will drive my truck, which leaves me with the bikes. My commute is just over 6 miles, with over 1/3 of it being on the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS). I love riding either bike, but it is such a short ride. The time it takes me to gear up, and get the bike out of the garage I would have been at work if I had just taken the car. The other problem is that since I have to ride on a military base they require specific riding clothes. Luckily the weather is just starting to get good for riding.
