Makes sense. I have not worked up to that level of biking.
I think my long-term biking goal is to be able to use a bike to commute distances of 20 or 30 miles round trip, with ample break in between. (Like going to my parents house down the street from the Dedham courthouse, or my friend's house past Lexington Center off the bike path.)
My short-term biking goal is to use the bike for carrying errands within five miles, and to/from the Fells for walks there (I have no interest in mountain biking, though.). I suspect that means I should get a rack or somesuch. Also I should probably upgrade the lights and reflectors.
My guess is that working on me and keeping the bike tuned will be sufficient for this summer at least.
