Hello everybody.
My name is Al. I bought a used Univega Via Montega Hybrid off craigslist last year. It helped me lose quite a bit of weight...I realized I liked riding bikes, so recently purchased a brand new Fuji Absolute 1.4. I'm not ready to give up the old Univega...and I'm thinking in the not to distant future I might need to add a road bike, and a Mountain bike.
I ride exclusively on paved biked paths...I don't ride on the street because I don't want to become a hood ornament for an Escalade. I live closest to the LA River, and I ride that frequently, but It's not really my favorite path. I like the SART and SGRT best. I also ride Coyote Creek and The Marvin Braude trail...basically anywhere in the local vicinity
