Good news is I have a 08 Tricross Singlespeed... Bad news is, when we got the bike, I didn't know what I was getting myself into. My boyfriend got me into riding, and I think that if equipped with the proper bike and attire, lights, shoes, petals, etc... I could possibly (note possibly being the key word) go for the long haul. Most questions are answered from my boyfriend, and I am grateful, but sometimes I feel like he gets annoyed with me. So I'm going another route. He had warned me about my singlespeed, and urged me to try something different, but I didn't. I didn't know anything about shifting gears, and am still new to the process. He just recently bought a new bike that just blows our singlespeeds out of the water, and has me thinking about a new one as well. We went and tested some, the Trek 1.2, and 1.5 WSD and I wanted to know if there were any others to be suggested for me. Eventually, I want to be involved in triathlons, but with the amount of things I currently have on my plate, commuting is the route for me to go.
