Bought my first ss/fg in 2006 (Raleigh Rush Hour). I originally rode in on ss side for a few months and then decided to switch it up and really fell in love with riding fg. Unfortunately, after a few years the bike was stolen. I just recently got back into biking and back on the fg wagon.
I've been thinking about buying a geared bike for longer weekend rides but plan on keeping the fg bike on as my everyday around town and work commuter bike.
