Hi.Thanks for replying.I like what I'm hearing.Seems like a great place to hang out with fellow enthusiasts.
Unfortunatly my computer is dead so I am limited to when I can post.I'm using a computer at the public library and there's a time limit to how long I can use it.Other people waiting for it.
I'll have to get my hands on a camera so I can take some pics.I have 8 bikes right now(5 Raleighs and 3 CCMs).I ride 4 of them and the other 4 are more or less parts bikes.I regularly carry 20-40 lbs. of stuff with me.Sometimes more.I don't drive a car(never have,never will)so I have to use my trailer when I go grocery shopping.
I have never found the heaviness of my bikes to be an issue.I guess once you get used to it it's not that hard.I don't have a problem with hills either,I just have to get up out of the saddle and crank.My daily commute (round trip) is 45 miles with a few good hills along the way.
So, thanks for the welcome and I will be posting more soon.......Roy
