I was inspired by our guest article “Commuter Racing by Jack Elder” and I dusted off my Ibex X-ray Cyclocross Single Speed bike.

I was laughed at on my ride home yesterday evening. Part of my commuting route takes me past a local inner-city high school.

Although I tried to be as naughty as I could, I believe that Santa will find it in his heart to grant me my wishes (yeah, right):
