Trek Pilots are also supposed to support a more upright riding position.

Yeah, what Mimi said....don't assume he's going to be slower than you just because you're on a road bike and he's on a hybrid. My DH can whip my butt on his hybrid, wouldn't matter how fast a bike I was on!
Guys are just generally more powerful riders with their big long leg muscles and all....
Try riding together for a few weeks first and see what happens!Lisa

We have ridden together and I had to circle and go back and find him.

my thought also. Mr.'s position on the Lemond Reno is fairly upright too. He has had back troubles too, but this doesn't seem to aggravate them. Originally Posted by Triskeliongirl
