My computer died shortly after staring the ride -- which, if it's just the battery, that's no problem (it's two years old) -- and my padded shorts didn't do much to alleviate the shock to my butt bones (technical term).
I rode about twelve and a half miles at a very leisurely pace; I was mostly killing time in order to ride home with my wife after she got off work, so the time listed on the map is not accurate -- at all :)
Our bikes are Scott SUB 10's, and we got them specifically for tooling around town.
The SUB 10 is perfect for just that; it is designed for urban commuting. In fact, if I'm remembering correctly, the SUB stands for Scott Urban Bicycle -- but I could be making that up in my head.
Anyway, what I love about these bikes is that they have a nice clean look about them and they have the IGH (internal gear hub).
Admittedly, I have undone some of that sharp clean look with all the gadgets and doodads I've put on them, but, you know, there are just certain things you need if you're going to use a bicycle heavily and be safe. However, the IGH remains awesome. I love the fact that my chain will never derail, or rather fall, all the way off the sprocket or cassette ever again.
