Well maybe I'm in a very small category --
I have but one bike, acquired through an insurance settlement
when my '79 Romic got stolen. I don't have extra $$ for a second bike
of any type, even a beater, plus I'm six-eight so size is definitely
an issue.
So, I happily cruise to work and back on an '00 IF Club Racer.
I feel sort of like an old man in a Cadillac, but what the hell,
I love my bike and it goes REAL FAST
Someday I'd love to scrounge up a beater MTB for the rare occasion
we get frozen precipitation, and put Nokians on it, but again,
size is an issue here, and....
...what was the question?
