Just came back from a cruise all around town with my wife on her new via condotti. Ironically she got more compliments for her bike than me, and I was on my orca; yea I wanted to ride my townie but I had a pinhole flat in my rear that took me by surprise, I ended up riding in my highest gearing to prevent myself from over taking and losing her.
Nevertheless, casual clothes, no helmet, evening cruise in the cool air really takes the cake.
