Me too @w, although cyclists are constantly getting harassed, which pisses me off to no end.

Rosie is bike #2, something different, while I work back up to the speedy road bike (which still doesn't have a name, after 5 years, poor baby).

Cars piss me off when I am on my bike and bikes piss me off when I am in my car.

I try to stick to the trails. Oh, with the bike I mean.

I went to the Mountain Bike World Cup this year, it really inspired me to get my bike fixed and get out on it.



I didn't actually do that.


But it was very inspiring.

I really like my Trek 7200 hybrid.

As the article says:
Go Where You Want

The true hybrid, Trek’s 7000 series is the one bike for all paths and manners of concrete. The perfect marriage of toughness and efficiency, the 7000 features rugged aluminum tubing with fast rolling tires that are wide enough to handle the loose stuff if conditions call for it. If you’re looking for a fast and durable solution to the changing landscape, you’ve just found it.
Picture and hardware stats.


Oh, and nice to meet you Rosie! :ok

My Rav is called Reva.

Before her, I had a Mazda 626 called Bonnie Blue (yes, she was blue).
