Hi All,

So here is my question: what do you guys commute with?

Bike: I have an old Pacifica Scorpio MTB With street tires
Engine: Two stroke chain driven china
Tools: have a set of bike tools, allen wrenches, adjustable wrenches, tire repair kit, pump, spare tube, and high mileage engine oil for keeping gears lubed (yes, it works really well)
Clothes: For the morning (7:30am leave time) I wear a long sleeve shirt with jeans and tennis shoes. For the ride home I wear t-shirt and jeans, and tennis shoes. I wear a reflective vest as well.
Miles: 4 miles each way.

Your turn!

Long wheelbase Cruiser with 48cc Grubee
i carry tire pump cresant wrench and hex key set for the commute to work and back.
i live in Phoenix so tee shirt in the AM and afternoon is long sleeve shirt bandanas over head and face and i soak the shirt to keep cool for at least part of the ride.
Work is 15 miles each way, school is 3.5. i figure i'm riding about 100 miles plus a week. i'm buying a gallon of gas once a week so can't be much more than that. i'm working 12 to 20 hrs a week while i'm in school.......i couldn't live on that if i owned a car

You guys need to ditch those big air pumps and get some CO2/N2 inflators.

Bike: Cranbrook
Engine: 66cc china
Tools: 10mm, 14mm, 15mm, 19mm, stubby phillip's, tire levers, tube and aforementioned inflator with a couple refills
Clothes: Helly Hansen urethane paints and packable rain jacket, ball cap and amber glasses. Tools and rain gear go in a backpack.

my pump is about that size 7 inches or so. That inflator does look like something useful though

my ride is a CCM comfort bike,its a mountain bike if you ask me,66 cc skyhawk no mods.
misc tools to pull chain,and to fix whatever loosens up.
raincoat,backpack with my lunch,gloves,helmet and safety glasses.the vest is a great idea,i will need to get one.only problem is i wanted to keep a low profile,as i'm the only one in town riding a MAB.
