Well, I've been known to take MY phillips on the Monon trail (about 20 miles each way), going out and back. It's really quite a lot of fun, as you can just stick it in 2nd, and cruise. I get more looks on the Phillips than I do when I take the Fuji out there. But, if you are going to get another bike to do the trail, get a road bike. I fricking hate seeing a million of those sit-up-and-beg bikes out there. I guess it is better than seeing a million overweight 60 year olds on carbon wonderbikes though...
