Well, Roadie got tagged without really getting to know her and Rocky got tagged as soon as I got dumped the first time over the bars- And she can climb. I will have to get to know the cross bike before naming her.
And I completely understand about 'favorites'- The question I like is "Do you like Road riding or mountain biking better?" They are so different that it is impossible for me to compare the two. I love them both for what they are!
The best rides are the ones where you bite off much more than you can chew--and live through it.
