Here is the map of my commute on my Tikit:

Today I biked to work using my Bike Friday Tikit (19.5 miles? I stopped measuring the distance after the security gate). Overall the bike handled pretty well, but I had some issues with the pannier bag on the front rack. Eventually I’ll post the google maps version of the route based on my gps watch, but for now, here are some pictures:
I attached one of my Arkel XM-45 panniers to the front rack and used that to carry all of my clothes and stuff I need for the day. I don’t really like the placement of the metal curved noodle looking thing on the front brakes. It pushes against the pannier bag and pushes that side of the brakes closer to the rim. Just by moving the curved metal piece toward the stem helped that issue, but I wish it were on the other side of the brakes.
The rest of the pictures are here:
