Bikes: Me: 2011 Novara Fusion, "Ivy Mike" and 2014 Novara FlyBy, "Nightbeat"; My Wife: 2012 Torker Tristar, "Kate"

My main ride and commuter is a Novara Fusion, which has proven comfy and reliable over the past few years. On a couple occasions, I had to get it serviced or repaired, and resorted to riding my wife's Torker Trike to work. A fine ride, to be sure, but heavy and awkward if you're used to leaning into turns. A few months back, I picked up a folding Novara FlyBy on sale as a backup ride and for use when I have to get on the train or bus for whatever reason. Just in time, too, as my main ride was out of commission for about a week recently for some IGH problems.
