You can’t please all of the people all of the time, haters! The alpha isn’t designed for bike snobs. It rides fine. Geometry is as tight as a Cannondale track bike, more so than the basic Fuji. It has low quality parts, but it’s $350 complete. I’ll be riding my Alpha around Philly, despite your sour whining, Jimmy Jones! Peace on the streets, my brothers and sisters!

There is nothing better to clear your thoughts than getting out in the open air.

My weekly commute totals about 100 miles over 5 days as well. My advice is to drink a lot of water and remember to stretch a bit after your rides even if you don’t think you need to. As far as energy for the ride, I favor some buttered wheat toast in the morning, I don’t know if its healthy but it keeps me fueled as I ride in to work each morning.

Hey, K I’m glad you dig the piece. The smell/scent thing just hit me the one day while riding. I am actually really good about being aware of vehicles behind me, but he was moving faster than I thought, but still, it wouldn’t have slowed him down all that much to wait for me. Thanks for your concern for my safety, it is appreciated. I’m as safe as I can be on a bike. Peace!

Hey cool piece. I could really hear your voice as I read this. Good point of view and great memory of over a dozen smells. Entertaining. I posted the ducks on FB! Maybe slow down in the intersections! Insisting on your right of way when the adversary is in a speeding bullet….hair raising read! Well maybe I misunderstood the details…still…i imagine that you are going full force thru these intersections..nag nag.

Yo the Alpha absolutely sucks.

Try riding that in Philly, n00b.

Yes, we are lucky that with rain it doesn’t mean lightening, actually it’s quite rare unless its a killer storm. I do remember the storms out west…and I miss them.
