Getting my hard rock back from Bikes inc tommorow. Haven't ridden in a few years, but not having a vehicle makes it a necessity. Now I can go to walmart, the range, and go to work for free.

Just got my bike back today, nice having it back since the bus doesn't always leave at the times I need it to.

Good exercise as well, have to drop 20lbs so I can get into USMC DEP so this and jogging should help a little.

I bought a bike a couple months ago and have been biking to work every day. It doesn't take but a few minutes longer than driving.

I'll be taking mine to college this next semester.

Johnny law knows

I'd better slip him a case of jack and a 20 and maybe he'll pass me over

"Free" is a relative term.

You'll see how free it is when you go up your first hill after being off the bike for a few years.

Roads that you thought where flat in your 100+ hp car are actually inclines and you'll see how "free" it is to ride a bike everywhere.

I just got mine today to and near new Cannondale for 200 bucks on from Craigslist. It says SOBE on it but I don't care. I guess it was made quite a while ago but no one rode it really so I got it now. I have to figure out the gears it has been ages since I rode a bike.

You need a BoB to carry your SHTF supplies behind your bike.
