[QUOTE="John Halliburton, post: 96734, member: 8"] Re: Bikes? Just so everyone is clear, especially me, you are looking to ride on the road, not trails? As popular as mountain bikes are, and in fact they certainly caused a paradigm shift in the bicycle industry when they came to market, they really aren't suitable for the mileage on asphalt that you're looking at. I keep one of my old mountain bikes in the garage with baldies on the rims for errands and short rides. Switching to knobbies is easy if trail riding is in order. Of course, while you're home this week, you get to watch coverage of the 100th anniversary of Le Tour de France in the morning live while having breakfast. The first stages on the island of Corsica was a very interesting change of pace. I'm looking through the Baltimore Craigslist right now, haven't seen much in used road bikes, but I'll keep looking.
