  Not sure, never owned one. I know component parts are supposed to be superior, but I've been fine with my set up for about 6 months.

  I dig your fuji road bike. Wondering if you also ride any trails?

  I've put a few thousand miles on one these over a period of 20 years. Great frame.

  People who ride their bike in the road when there is a sidewalk with nobody on it need to be thrown off a cliff.(this doesn't really apply to cities obvi)

  I don't ride a bike, so I shan't be pushed into traffic.
  
  Hope this helps.

  Riding a bicycle on a sidewalk is against the law in many US states/cities.
  
  Strangely, one can get a DUI while riding a bicycle.

  My bike got stolen from outside my college apartment my junior year. Thanks for bringing up bad memories.
  
  A few of my buddies bike everywhere. I need to get a bike, but it is low on the priority list.

  due to BART stirke (Which is FUCKING ridiculous btw, Avg BART employee makes $71K (+$11K additional in OT pay while paying a flat $90 a month for the best healthcare converage in the US) is on strike bc they want to make more, I'll be biking to work until further notice. About 7 miles each way. Highly enjoyed it, not sure I'll go back to BART after this.

  How cold does it get in the Bay Area in the winter?

  Not that cold. Usually 50s would be a low. Maybe at night on a rarity it will dip into the high 40s. Pretty much perfect weather all the time. 80 is really warm for the area and rarely gets that hot. Usually 60s-70s year round.

  Found a picture of dlazz's bike.

  Did ya have fun touring the Alamo?
• Oldman82

  Rode 66 miles Saturday and 26 Sunday. Riding in Pelotonia this year. Can't run anymore because of a couple of knee scopes so I took up riding.

  I'd stick to the bike then also.

  I have a cheap trek hybrid that was ~$500. Good for what I need though.

  Not yet. The money I had stashed away for a bike was reallocated to adopt our foster dog.

  Just think of how many fruit and vegetables you'll have to sell to afford a decent bike
