I ride. I used to ride every day, but year I've just been too busy..... I was out last night (and got a flat).

I ride Cannondale bikes. I got into cycying and was looking for a good bike, and came caross a Canndondale I liked. I researched it and it was a great deal, college kid was selling at UC Davis, so.... I bought, joined a Canndondale group on FB and... I've only had Cannondale's since then.

I topped out at 275 lbs and now I am 220.... Still over weight, but I'm working on it.

My favorite bike is a 2002 Cannondale CAAD5 Stars & Stripes. Shortly after 9/11, a group of firefighters from the fire station closest to the WTC did a charity ride from NYC to LA. Cannondale made these special "Stars & Stripes" bikes, only a dozen of them. There was such a demand for them that the following year they made a few thousand. I bought one four or five years ago and rode it "as is" but it was just an old bike always had problems so.... A few years ago I gutted the bike and replaced everything except for the frame and the steering wheel. It's awesome; It's like a brand new bike.
