[quote=Anonymous]I was a bicycle messenger many years ago and a recreational cyclist for years after that. I have a couple of different bikes and while living in DC proper the only time I took out my mountain bike was for the C&O Canal and a few other off-road paths. In fact I rode my racing bike on the canal more than a few times and because it is so hard packed it's a pretty easy ride, even with narrow tires. Around the city I'd second the suggestion about comfort. A racing bike can be kind of hunched over at times, and if you are looking for some more casual cycling sitting in a more upright position might be a bit better. The biggest issue will be the tire size, as thicker tires and/or knobby tires will make the commute much harder. [/quote]
