Bike Commute Diaries: Lighter Than Air

14 Mar

When you trade the sturdy city bike you ride to work every day for a road bike you ride after work, you feel like you’re soaring into flight, right from that first pedal stroke. And maybe you are. Happy Daylight Saving Time!

    I just bought my first road bike… holy moly do I get fast without even trying… riding a 30 pound plus bike every day must be a great workout.
    Although I almost threw my new bike through my mud room because I lifted it like I would a heavy bike and it went flying :D
