Guys, great bike for commuting is Giant Escape 1, I commute from Lynnwood to Technopark in Centurion daily, going past fountains on the way. The Escape is superfast (compared to Epic 29 with with Schwalbe Racing Ralph) and takes bumps, small jumps, bunnyhopping over obstacles, curb-hopping, etc. in its stride. Super stoked with this bike. Only R 3600 at Bruce Reyneke Cycles.
