Nice bike!

I haven't had a bicycle since moving to the U.S. I have an old pair of rollerblades, but like Melody said, they're not that practical and can't go everywhere.

That looks nice! I really like the lock out feature on the shocks. Shocks are great on rough terrain but I hate the waste of energy when you're trying to accelerate and the bike just squashes down.

Yup ive been looking at this bike for 4 years now :o I know i should have it already. Totally understand what you mean with the shocks. I need to figure out if those allow me to loosen or tighten them. That would be great for when you know you don't need them full out.

Thanks Alex. Thats the only foldable one i would get. Lots of hipsters in down town own a variation of the others. Not for me :lol:

Thats the catch with roller blades. Great for an hour or so but not practical. A bike you can ride all day on and go very far distances.

I like CamelBak's. They're very convenient. :)

Just how hot was it out there? You made it sound like it's summer!

Very nice! I need to get a bike! Might try to convince mayra to put her blade funds towards a mountain bike instead :)

High of today is 83 degrees! Hot! :)

Oh i dont mind taking it up the stairs at all. I want to get a foldable one like this because living in the city its a pain to have a bike. This way i can fold it half when i get on the subway and when i have it home:

Dahon Matrix 2011 goes for $649 and holds in half.

QUOTED IMAGE

Very nice! And it folds too! :)

Good option for the camera strap users!

I use a black rapid sports strap. Love that thing!
