[MENTION=34773]paul2[/MENTION] - any preference from your experience?
my personal preference is to attempt to make my bike related stuff car-free (as possible) - that includes club rides, coffee shop rides, buzzing up to the hardware store for small stuff, touring.
i don't bike to work much due to family stuff, church stuff, and right ICE. i'm not ant-car. i make my living when others buy cars! <<subliminal message: buy an F150>> so just curious which you gravitate to the most often. thanks!
