All this bike talk recently, what's everyone riding? I have a Trek 7.2fx I bought around 5 years ago. Only rode it like, 5 times, then it sat for a few years. lol Then my neighbor got a new bike, and started riding to work here and there, so it motivated me to get mine tuned up so I could do the same. Rode to work today actually...

This is my 2011 BMC SR02. I've logged 1400 miles this year so far. I've made a few upgrades. I got a set of Mavic Ksyrium Elite wheels and a Thudbuster seatpost.

LOL, not my women. Well this too use to be my Dad's and it still works perfect. I've replaced the wheels, seat and given it multiple tune-ups over the years.

Mine is a Chinook Giant. It's a mountain bike/milk getter. Maybe 4 miles in the past month. Yeah.

Gotta stick with what works!

I need a rack like that. I have a small Camel Pak that I use when I ride, doesn't fit much. lol

One more week unitl my 50 mile Pelotonia ride to help fund research for cancer. I"m just over Half way to my goal of raising $650. Remember that 100% of your donation goes directly to research and is tax deductable. Thank you in advance for your support.

Good luck Nate, my ride is this weekend. If I didn't have to work most weekends, I would have ridden Pelotonia too! Of course, if I didn't work weekends, I would hang out with my mazda family much more this summer...

I got out on mine today, it's a 98 K2 Proflex 2000. I had something start hurting in my right knee (internet diagnosis said runners' knee) two years ago, and I haven't been able to ride much since. This was maybe my first time out this year. Sucks, cus it's such a sweet bike and just gobbles up everything you throw at it.

Wes that thing must steer hella fast, it has almost no caster. I own a POS Wal-mart mountain bike I have even rode it three times for a total of 10 miles, maybe.

 

[XCLR8TN]

Me too, on non-ridden Walmart mountain bike. I rode it like 3 years ago on the bike trail while I still had my CBR and those knobby mountain bike tires were NOT like I remember from my childhood years. I was convinced I was going to eat s*** at any second. Either I was trying to go way too fast around curves, was used to having a 100+ series REAL tire under me or I don't even know. I haven't been on it since lol!

anyone know anything about Motobecane? i'm looking at getting one of their cyclocross bikes and wanted to get some opinions.

I'm not sure, all I have to compare it to is my old GT Palomar rigid. I know it was scary yesterday when I got to the top of a mound and stalled, the wheel whipped sideways and gravity started me down the other side! Fortunately I managed to get it back. I'm not sure if my tires are more grippy, or if it just has better weight balance than my friend's bike, but I was able to go down almost all of the descents with just my rear brake so I didn't have to worry as much about going over the bars. His is a hardtail as well, so maybe that makes a big difference?

Happy birthday, Larry!
