hmmm such a hard decision, ultimately ya'll have to understand that the Dallas roads are like an obstacle course for cyclists right now. Loose gravel, sand and dirt from constant construction that always ends up in places where you NEED to make a quick stop if the cars around here aren't paying attention (hint: they never are), steep inclines or high winds another, or my personal favorite. B O T H

So its quite hard to say which would be better, a solid new hybrid or an adventure bike, then the distance involved makes me think that maybe the renegade has more benefit.

that said, I do have another random question. I heard from some guy who was raving about solid rubber tires, apparently some company by the name of Tannus makes the things and he can't get enough of em. Could I get ya'll's opinion on them?
