Spring is in the air. Just dropped off my bicycle for a tune up.
Indeed, today I just completed a demo ride on a 2013 Trek Damone. Spring is in the air, and thoughts of an upgrade to a carbon frame fill my head. I know the bike will make me go faster , it has nothing to do with the motor .

Madone you mean. Get a carbon fiber frame. it rides so much nicer. I am going to get a steel frame bike this spring though for commuting. It'll replace my aluminum cyclocross with the bad geometry.
Nice, what did you think? A couple friends are looking at them as we'll.
All I've got is a Dahon folding. But it sure is nice to just put that on the back of my small car and off to the shop.
How do you like the folding bike? How much do you ride?
Anyone else use folding bikes?
We were thinking of getting a pair so we can take them with us on our road trips. We were thinking it would be easier to take into hotels at night.
Plus a new playing card and clothes pin.What does a bicycle tune up consist of? I mean beyond the obvious points, condenser and spark plugs?

I went out for 26 miles along a route I have been on many times with my Giant aluminum frame. At first, I was unsure if there was an advantage. Then I realized that the road vibration and the bumps I was feeling was through my hands and feet. Very little was transmitted up the stem to the seat (my butt). I then started hitting bumps on purpose. I wouldn't lift up, but just road through them. Amazing! The Damone is quick, responsive (and I am now sounding like a commercial).
Check for yourself at your local LBS. Now, I need to convince my DW that this will be a good investment. Not only for my motivation to keep active, but for my overall physical, and mental health.
Tailwinds!
