That Trek that my dad bought 20+ years ago, and my son got tuned up a few month ago? I rode it for about 9 miles yesterday, just to see what all the fuss is about.
1) The 'Nard REALLY needs to pick it up on the Bike Lane pavement/cleaning. I would have felt a lot better on a mountain bike! At one point, on a relatively busy 4-lane, there was a eucalyptus log I had to go around.
2) After said events, I stopped by to pick up a rearview mirror for the handlebars. Being on pizza cutters for the first time, each time I looked back I was swerving WAY into oncoming lanes.
