While vacationing in Florida for the winter months I purchased in Jan an entry level M2S Sport R500 commuter. In the mid 1970's I was an avid road racing biker, purchased an ALAN record which I still have today. After many years of idle I decided to enjoy biking again. Upon arrival I found the tires too noisy so i changed out the Kenda knobbies for Schwalbe Marathons. I purchased an extra hidden battery, added better grips, softer seat, pedals, lock. I was biking everyday when I could, quite rainy this winter and racked up 200 miles. Then in March we had our gov't orders to return to Montreal asap. Now it's 4c waiting for the weather to warm up.
