Who here rides them? I can't be the only one. I am talking about mountain bikes, bmx, or road bikes. I have a 2009 Kona Shred that is in the shop as of right now. I am hoping to get it back in the next few days. I am upgrading the brakes and putting new tread on it. It would be awesome to get out and ride with some of you guys too.

I use to ride mine to work, now I has no work, need to bike more often. I need to either see if I can fix it up a bit or just change bikes it is not such a great bike to begin with

It's too bad that you both live on the mainland. It would have been awesome to meet you two. Also, I want to start riding again because I want to get into riding downhill. I don't have the cash for a brand new Kona Operator or Specialized Demo 8 so I thought I should just upgrade the parts on my bike part by part.

Been a faithful road biker, painted mine with tiger stripes. Unique eh?

Just bought an eProdigy Logan electric bike for hauling 100lb+ gear in a trailer or commutes where I want to be free of transit and still want a decent amount of exercise and energy in the end. Some day, I'll be able to afford an electric car, but a can't take offroad shortcuts or go on bike lanes like I can now can it :)

My favourite thing about the road bike is those levers, braking without straining my back (while sitting upright) is quite nice on those kinda handlebars.

Shame I'm not on the island although boy would it be beautiful to bike around next summer :P

I've got a couple (a Cramerotti road bike and a Dahon Speed P8 folding bike) that have been sadly underutilized this year as I've been either sick or riding my motorcycle.

I'm a regular, casual rider - Singletrak trek rider doing the whole weight lost thing. If anyone is up for a casual cardio ride, I do East Van to wherever pretty often - squashNstretchy --at-- gmail
