New Bike
I have been riding my bike quite a bit more lately so I decided to buy a decent bike to replace the Target special I purchased back in February. After looking at the Trek 520, a Kona, a Specialized Tri-Cross, a Cannondale Touring 1, and a Surly Long Haul Trucker, I decided on the Surly. I wanted a touring bike so that I can both commute on it and do self-supported bike tours. I picked up the bike late yesterday afternoon, it finally came in after a week and a half waiting for it. It is very nice. I rode it to work today and my pace was 3 mph faster than on my old bike with less effort (lower heart rate average). I will post a picture of it soon.
