Yeah, I would probably use it daily come to think of it, as I sometimes run errands when I come from campus or going to work. And By all means the Rincon is not a hardcore Mountain bike. It has a little beefier components than the Boulder or Boulder SE from Giant. I am not seeing myself carrying heavy loads all the time, but getting the groceries would be easier on an Xtracycle. Would i need to change components right away or would it just affect the longevity of them? I am kind of new at having a nice bike, and not a walmart special. Thanks
