esp if you live on the top of a hill (like everyone does)

i guess if you live in ballard or fremont you're at the bottom of a hill

I'm not sure how I feel about that.

but the hills in fremont are hecka steep if you want to get anywhere north of 34th

I don't like it. And those NuVinci hubs are goofy.

the hub is alright in my book, but those wheels+stem+bars=ideal city bike?

That stem+bars combo makes me want to vomit. I don't see what's "ideal city bike" about that at all.

Is there even such thing as an ideal city bike for all?

Not flashy but functioning

and fenders

That one's geared towards someone who drinks more Red Bull than me, I think. I'd be happy with a lighter version of the Raleigh Sports with wider gear range and front rack.

Switch the cranks and bars to silver, add fenders and I'd gladly roll that thing, though.

This times a million. /puke

I would throw up all over that bike if I could.

Then the idiot that wrote the article and called anything on it "perfect".

ideal for that guy/gal anyway.


my ideal city bike as of now is my vaya

I cant read gearpatrol anymore, they review the most needless crap even for absurdly rich people

My husband and I have been having some issues lately. Had some major awful fights this week. Today he bought this:

And wants to "find something stupid to do with it tonight" with me. :)

This may be better than make-up sex?

makeup sex ON THE PUGLSY

for you?

:love:
Awwwww. He loves you!! What a sweetheart.
(not being sarcastic at all, very moved by that gesture)

;)

Well it's mostly for him but if I can fit on it the idea is I can ride it too. Still, we were talking about ways to have fun together again and this seems like a good idea to me!

playing bikes is always the best way to have fun with a significant other! this gives me a fun idea for a thread...

That thing is gnar! For tonight's festivities might I suggest...

I don't even know where I would take a pugsley to really put it through its paces. Don't forget to check tire pressure before you go out kaz :D

I wish I could pull off buying a bike for myself as a makeup present.

Doubtful. Sex is my favorite.

Yeah, same here. I'm thinking we take it to the beach.

Impressive, isn't it? In this case I kinda ****ed up so he deserves a present, and this is at least better than refusing to even look at me.

But we're not talking about you here.

Kaz, Soldier Field sledding hill? :)
Beach is good but also that park on Montrose/California. Has hills and trail.

What are those tires rated for? 5 psi? lol
Love that thing man. Beefy.

OHHHHHHH PUGSLEY :D

today I pulled a all nighter wrote my last essay for the year and planned some more for my cyclo cross build

I want a Pugsley or a Moonlander sooooo bad.
