That settles it for me -- new tires soon! Thank you for your insights. Keep us updated on your wheel thinking/buying.

Overall, I do think it's worth saying again that, on balance, the 2019 Escape...

Thank you. Sorry, fixed that!: 2019 Giant Escape 1 Disc with a few mods for a more upright ride. NEXT summer I may be buying a steel-frame tourer, but I need to see how my interests unfold (I mostly...

Just bought a 2019 Escape 1 -- I made a few mods to get some upright-position possibilities (I have lumbar issues). I've only had the Escape 1 two weeks, but the main impression for me in three...

Aw, thanks! I ride 90% for fitness on roads in a four-season temperate climate (rain, snow, leaves, clear tarmac), but occasionally gravel and across rustic parks and grassy fields. I find myself...

Keystone stater

Greetings from the land of anthracite and dead steel mills. And hills. Lots and lots of hills in Pennsylvania. I'm a late-night rider of small-town streets and parks. I like to go fast and ride in...

Exclamation No, it has not.

How do you react to wet leaves on tarmac?

I live in an area where a canopy of leafy deciduous trees covers the streets, and consequently, as fall approaches, we get a LOT of leaves on the street, often wet leaves. I try to steer around them,...

Question Bar ends on fitness bikes

I checked out a Giant ToughRoad GX tonight with drop bars, but I don't think it's for me.

I'm way more interested in your riding styles, your thinking, and your experiences with these brands...

Poll: 2019 Kona Sutra, Surly DT, Giant ToughRoad SLR 1, Marin 4 Corners, Trek 520

VERY happy...
