They even call it a LAB SmartSense. Cannondale's desperate for relevancy in a market where most top-tier bikes are the same.

They made bike bags, trailers, camping and backpacking gear, racks, etc. from 1973 to 1983 when they introduced their touring bike. To their credit, they offered classic touring geometry made in the US bicycles until 2010. I have a 2010 T1 as well as a 2006 T800 and a 2011 Tandem. Great touring bikes…much better than my 1983 Miyata 610.

Is a dinosaur track more interesting.
Highlighted so you can see it.
More interesting when it is really, really, really tiny?

Nope. I know my dinosaur tracks. This one is of a similar species in adult size with small child for reference
And from the trackway along the Purgatory River (see my sig line). The second picture is of sauropod tracks while the first is a theropod.
