Belt drive perfect for commuting!

This past weekend I rode in the AntiEpic 53-mile gravel grinder race.  On my belt-drive Spot Brand SINGLESPEED cyclocross bike.  One gear.  For 53 miles.  Yes, it was tough.

But it made me appreciate the belt drive even more.  It's only thing to last a 45-minute CX race... another to ride flawlessly without risk of broken chain for 53 miles on gravel...

So I wanted to share this link in case you're shopping for a new commuter bike!
