bought a new bike today
Well, I took a new job that requires me to work near Baltimore 3 out of 4 weeks for the next 6 months or so. It's kind of hard to ride my bike back in Missouri when I'm in Maryland, so I went out and bought a bike to keep in my office out here. I broke down and got a Trek 1200. Plan is to ride each morning before work and during lunch. So far, I'm pretty happy with it.

OMG! Digital Gee will be sooooo jealous! Congratulations. I had to spend a year in Detroit some years back, I bought a soft side case and shipped my bike there. Would have been more fun to buy a new one there though.

I keep at least one bike at work, in addition to the bikes at home.

Not to worry Gary. If you take a 54cm, you're welcome to ride it when I'm working. The commute is going to be a bear though.
