HTFU or at least that is what my road cycling pals might say lol

honestly the 15T will help with both comfort and mileage a bit - or at least it did in my case. my commute is onle 32 miles one way but I try and ride the bike every day I can for enjoyment and fuel economy.

At about 35 to 40 min on the bike, the seat doesn't have enough time yet to really really bother me, but my hands and the wind around my head perhaps a bit too much. I think the windscreen and gel grips will be next .

I got off to a bad commuter start with my ninjette though, I had such a short distance to work at my previous career that I could walk or ride a bicycle so the ninjette was outfitted for sporty work (clipons, rearsets, etc.). Even with the more aggressive rider position its peaches compared to my 6R.

BTW my 6R got about 45 mpg on my commute while the ninjette gets 55. My best fuel economy car gets 30 and takes premium.
