"the Zen" and all. It's true, simple bikes are fun.<br /><br />Admittedly I had being a messenger to get me "in to" cycling. Funny the way that works. <br /><br />Whether the trend dies or not, at least we're guaranteed a large supply of parts to last til kingdom come... <br /><br />But then, admittedly I'm riding the same trackbike that's been my primary ride since 96 or so... I always cite the "more parts" argument for the trend being a positive thing, when in reality I almost never buy any parts. <br /><br />Anyway, enough of my ranting.tinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955389414412627226noreply@blogger.com
