    Do you own/ride a bicycle ??

    Haven't owned one in years but thinking about getting one this weekend. Let's just say i'm inspired by the Triathlon.

    I figure this will keep my attention more than just running. Let's see how long it lasts. Pity our Summer will be over soon though.

    Do you cycle ??

    I do in Spain but not in here in London - Too scary...

    You will be surprised how useful it is - Nipping out to get milk, post a letter that sort of thing.....

        Yea. Got 3 MTB's. Two full suspension (Specialized Enduro and Ghost RT7500) and one hardtail (Ghost). Used to ride Downhill but too many injuries. Now I just do cross country
        But.... I pulled out...

            you get what you pay for, figured that out once i got into triathlons. its expensive, but if you want something good, its really reflective of the equipment

              I have been racing MTB ( XC) for the last 8 years.

              This is the bike I ride for this season.

              27.5 wheels are a lot of fun

                Yeah i hate jumping into the car for things like that. It's too far to walk every time, but not far enough to justify a car journey...

                  I got back into biking last year; Seems they call it "cycling" now. I ride pretty much every day, including seven miles this morning.

                  My bike is a Fuji....

                    The wife and I have mountain bikes, we hit the trails around the house every so often but I haven't used it yet this year. I have slow punctures in both wheels, I really should repair them. We also use them to cycle to the pub for beers on Saturday afternoons, means we can have a few drinks and sit in the sun.

                            on the flip side you can save a lot of money buying a model that is a couple years past or even a used one, plenty of people drop out of it or upgrade so deals to be found everywhere.

                            I don't have a full carbon wind tunnel special but i have a solid trek 1500 that is light enough for me.

                              My bike I posted above is made with all name-brand components- wheels, tires, hubs, chain, brake, stem, bars, everything. total weight = 19 pounds. total cost = $185

                                I was just talking yesterday ,that I am thinking about buying a bike. I can't remember when it was list time I was driving it, probably back in 1983 after BMX bandits. I would like to replace car, for short distances, because of health. But I don't know anything about bikes and what I should buy.

                                      I don't have a clue what are my options when buying a bike. What are technologies today and what I should consider.

                                          I have a mountain bike that I haven't put to use in about 6 months... I should start riding again; it's a great workout and it's really convenient since I have a bike trail a few blocks from my place. I'm more into the night rides!

                                            I have Trek 8.3 DS Hybrid. I was doing 30 mile rides for a while, but I keep my rides short and intense now.

                                                If you buy a bike don't go to a department store, go to a local bike shop. I spent just over $400USD on a decent Diamondback hybrid.

                                                I put over 3,500miles on Heybuddy (my bike has a name ) last year, and am around 2,500miles so far this year.

                                                  I mountain bike more than road riding, but we have a lot of rail-to-trail type riding which can be nice easy riding to get you into the wilderness.

                                                  Riding for over 20 years keeps me fit and healthy and it's the only sport where every ride is just as fun as the first day I went, there's nothing like it. Here in BC is mountain biking is amazing.

                                                                I'll take a fixed speed bike over a 21 speed any day. I get the job done with a single speed and don't waste money on bullshit that is completely unneeded. Disc brakes, shock absorbers. Logoed spandex. Most people buy way too much bike for their purpose and you think a single speed bike as a grocery grabber is inefficient.

Just wondering how much extra that would run. My wife just got a bike and wants me to tool around town with her. Down to the beach etc. This would be perfect!

Also purefix, state bikes for some nice choices and they all use quality components. Nothing fancy, just good solid simple bikes. Craig's list usually has a few of these used also. I got mine at amazon, open box price. They are typically around $200

Also purefix, state bikes for some nice choices and they all use quality components. Nothing fancy, just good solid simple bikes. Craig's list usually has a few of these used also. I got mine at amazon, open box price. They are typically around $200

                                                                                  yeah, peeps can flat out haul on a single speed. I see them in DTLA all the time. I like the choice of gearing mine came with, terrific acceleration for me without burning my legs up and a good cadence when trying to maintain a high speed. I would think 15+mph is easily achieved on one. I was also initally concerned about just 1 brake, but the brake is very grippy and hasn't let me down yet.

                                                                                              I can say, however, the difference of riding in the states vs. the Netherlands is night and day. I fucking love the dedicated bike paths through the country and rarely having to share with cars. I don't feel like I'm putting my life on the line like in the states.

                                                                                                  I also have a crate for my beer!

                                                                                                  Plus the extra and the big reason why i bought this bike are the extra thick tires.
                                                                                                  When i'm drunk , i no longer fall on my face since my tire is stuck in the tramway tracks
