I don't know anything about hybrids. They weren't around the last time I bought a new bike.

Sure they were, they just weren't popular. Mountain bikes were all the rage in the 90s. Think mine is a 97 or 98 model, I don't really know for sure because I'm not the original owner.

Take a look at this used-bike shop in Lawrence. I believe they will buy their bikes back if you decide you need something else. The other place I've seen some decent used bike buys - pawn shops. I've bought a few nice old bikes off Craigslist, too. Some stuff off my bike-links: http://www.bikecommuters.com/ http://www.commutebybike.com/ http://amsterdamize.com/ http://xavierthoughts.blogspot.com/search?q=bicycle http://bicycletutor.com/ http://www.howtofixbikes.ca/

No worries man, I didn't think otherwise.
Besides, when you're a road biker you get used to being called a skinny, spandex-wearing, leg-shaving roadie f*ggot. And that's just by mountain bikers. Drivers aren't even THAT nice.

That said I stay off multi-use trails and sidewalks as much as I can. I've had more accidents on those because of people who don't pay attention to their dogs or kids or are on the phone/listening to music than I ever have on the road (when I wreck on the road it's usually because I did something stupid). I always call in those situations but people are just oblivious.

Dude I work with needed to lose some pounds per the doctor, so he went out a got a sweet bike. He said he lives about 12 miles from work. He's now at the point where he rides in basically anytime it's not raining. Dude has dropped some serious poundage fairly quickly.
I'm taking CP advice and getting fitted if/when I get a ride.

I used to ride a bike all the time then discovered jogging/running. Now it just collects dust unless the kids want to go for a ride.
Hell, at 5.8 miles you could build up the stamina to jog that in no time.

Oh come on, you can do it. You can even eat my dust.

Mrs. Plow has always kind of laughed it off when I said I want to ride a bike to work during the summer. I've been really thinking about doing it this year. |
