100Km mark!
Today I rode my touring bike to work instead of the A-Bike. The reason is that I wanted to measure the distance to work with my cyclecomputer. What a surprise. I thought the one-way trip was only 2 or 3Km, but the trip using the most direct route is exactly 6Km one-way.
That makes 12Km (7.5miles) a day. Adding up the days and the big 30Km ride
means that I have now done just over 100Km on the A-Bike.
So far the bike has been going well, but I
I can see some wear on the rear tire. No much, but it does not look
new anymore. I have found that a 26inch rear tire lasts about
3000Km on average. Using this as abenchmark an A-Bike rear tire should
last about 700Km or about 3 months of daily commuting.
It will be interesting to see...
