I've had a Miyata Ridge-runner for a while now, and am very happy with
it as a commuting bike.  The handlebar arrangement on mountain bikes
gives you considerably more power when you roll over a rock or
something, and the ability to bump through a pothole (as opposed to
riding around them and into the middle of the road) makes life a lot
safer on Massachusetts roads.

I'm REALLY looking forward to riding in winter....
