I've ridden with people on Bike Fridays, and they're not a joke. As a matter of fact, they are great if you travel a lot and want to take your bike everywhere you go.

How come he only put 1500 on 'her' (who gives their bikes names...) in two years? That's what most of us would do in a good month...
