Not sure, never owned one. I know component parts are supposed to be superior, but I've been fine with my set up for about 6 months.

I've put a few thousand miles on one these over a period of 20 years. Great frame.

People who ride their bike in the road when there is a sidewalk with nobody on it need to be thrown off a cliff.(this doesn't really apply to cities obvi)

I don't ride a bike, so I shan't be pushed into traffic.

Hope this helps.

Riding a bicycle on a sidewalk is against the law in many US states/cities.

Strangely, one can get a DUI while riding a bicycle.

My bike got stolen from outside my college apartment my junior year. Thanks for bringing up bad memories.

A few of my buddies bike everywhere. I need to get a bike, but it is low on the priority list.

due to BART stirke (Which is FUCKING ridiculous btw, Avg BART employee makes $71K (+$11K additional in OT pay while paying a flat $90 a month for the best healthcare converage in the US) is on strike bc they want to make more, I'll be biking to work until further notice. About 7 miles each way. Highly enjoyed it, not sure I'll go back to BART after this.

Not that cold. Usually 50s would be a low. Maybe at night on a rarity it will dip into the high 40s. Pretty much perfect weather all the time. 80 is really warm for the area and rarely gets that hot. Usually 60s-70s year round.

Rode 66 miles Saturday and 26 Sunday. Riding in Pelotonia this year. Can't run anymore because of a couple of knee scopes so I took up riding.

I'd stick to the bike then also.

I have a cheap trek hybrid that was ~$500. Good for what I need though.

Not yet. The money I had stashed away for a bike was reallocated to adopt our foster dog.

Just think of how many fruit and vegetables you'll have to sell to afford a decent bike
