Wife has only gone 28 miles so far. The important part of this is I was able to fit the bike to her so she could ride comfortably. When we get our age, any kind of activity is a very good thing. Our regular riding roads are roughly paved and hilly so this bike is very appropriate for her.
In taking the photo, I realized the bike is a Trek 850 Mountain XC Track. [I corrected the original post.] I don't know the year. I also noticed, I switched to thumb shifters that were in my parts box. This bike was a very lucky find and in great shape. Who would have guessed she would take up bicycling at 70 years old.
A large benefit for me is that riding with her keeps me in my Zone 2 heart rate range. I can do my interval rides by myself.
Thanks again! I've enjoyed lurking over the last year.
