I like the Montague look. Looks clean and edgy. Get that one!

Thanks man! Now to convince Mayra about this

She is all about quality but this will increase the budget from 200 bucks to 900

Nice! I can see why it costs more. It's got SRAM parts and Juicy brakes.

Im about a 5-6 mile ride to work. I could do it if i worked on the west side as the green way is complete there and its a straight shot down. Working on the east side makes it much more of a difficult trip.

This is the greenway. Check it out. When completed you will be able to bike all around the edge of manhattan.

As you can see on the map the eastern side is not a complete swing down town. The blue line represents the break point. That makes it difficult for me.

I want to do the whole ride one day

I see. The train is more convenient for you.

That would be a nice ride. I'd do it!

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

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.

Yeah, rollerblades are more for fun than for transportation. I can't imagine going rollerblading in the middle of New York. It sounds suicidal! It's one thing in the suburbs, but a different story in the city.

High of today is 83 degrees! Hot!

Dang, that is hot!

Good option for the camera strap users!

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

That's one I am considering to buy! The R-Strap is neat in general, but the Sports version adds that connector for stability and prevent sliding.

Have you ever used your Black Rapid in conjunction with a backpack (or other camera carrying bag)? I wonder if it would get in the way. I know that usually, using the R-Strap you don't carry anything else with you. But I might want to have a backpack to carry additional lenses (etc.) and still use the R-Strap instead of a neck strap, say, for a photography day-trip.

Just when I say it must be suicidal to bike in New York, lol... Biking by the waterfront sounds fun!

I've used my R-strap with a backpack before. I put the R-strap on first, then the backpack. Backpack covers the strap in the back but allows it to be free in the front. If I use the chest strap on the backpack I just make sure I buckle it under the r-strap.

Ah, got it. I can actually picture this, it would work.

It works, it just takes a little shifting to get everything sitting right. Depends on how everything fits to begin with. Comfier than a neck strap and easier than trying to get those straps that attach to the backpack.

That's how exactly I use mine when I carry my backpack.
I'm considering selling my r4 for the sport edition, it fastens better.

Hmm.....Really thinking about buying PS CS5 now. Adobe has a wicked deal on their site right now.

That's a good price. I'm really happy with it so far.
