I’ve been looking for quite awhile now for a new bike.I gave my beloved yellow mountain bike to my son last year, thinking I didn’t really want to do trails so much anymore. Getting too old for that !
We have biked forever -Its a part of me I loved that bike -I bought it back in 1996 when we lived in England -it took me everywhere. I’d pull the boys when they were little in a burley. We’d cycle as a family . Through the years I added several upgrades&modifications.
I have missed my bike.
So after much research I thought I found my replacement. Problem is -there is a bicycle shortage. So today as a spur of the moment thing we decided to drive 3-1/2hrs to a bike shop that had this bike. I called and asked them to hold it. It rode like a dream -if it had only been yellow then I would think I was on my old cannondale. It is what they call a hybrid -best of both world to to ride street and trails. The tires are not as skinny as road but not as wide as mountain.
Only came in black so I blinged it up with red pedals, red helmet, red water bottle and cage .
Now the search for one for hubby. They said they may get stock in October
We are driving back home now. I know what I am doing in the early morning before it gets too hot !!
Congrat's on your new bike, I have a hybrid as well.............it's crazy how hard it is to find a bike, we waited a year to get the bike rack I wanted for our vehicle!
@radiogirl yes so crazy !! What rack did you get -we bought a kuat and it’s awesome-our old one carrier was the kind that the bikes just hang on there ! We are loving it
