2005 was a great year for me. I was fortunate to become a writer/tester for Commute By Bike thanks to Tim Grahl and RL Policar, built 2 bikes from scratch and surpassed my cycling goals.
I got to test ride bikes from the ‘little companies’ like IBEX, Woodstock, Sun Bicycles, Xootr, Giatex and Fezzari. Owning bikes from the major companies I was pleasantly surprised on the quality of all these bikes. I also got to test lights and accesories from PrincentonTec, Inertia Designs, Genuine Innovations, Rec Rac, TopLine Mfg, Tifosi and Finish Line. I want to thank all of these partners for providing their products and submitting themselves to our unbiased point of views and recommendations.
This year I was also fortunate to have found the courage to commute to work by bicycle, I rode a century and I smashed my goal of riding 1000 miles for the year by riding a total of 1605 miles.
We also found John LaPierre, a dedicated bike commuter, a great writer and most of all, a great inspiration. Thanks John for Joining Commute By Bike.
I’m looking forward to 2006, it should be a promising year for Commute By Bike and cycling in general.
So to all of you, Happy New year !!!

Happy New Year! May 2006 bring you all much success and well-deserved admiration!
