The Phantom is GORGEOUS. I've never heard of Pashley before. I can't have another bike that's too nice to put on the bus rackOriginally Posted by zencentury

I think Miss Kitty hears a slow air leak. Cats know these things.

She is sharp for an old girl. But I've now been on a ride (a practice commute) with no flat, which is good because I don't have a spare tube that size. Originally Posted by zencentury

I luv the cat
Sweet bike too.
The 7.2 &7.3 etc treks are really popular around here for commuting. A friend has been looking at a "Pure," which has the 'flat foot' angles and is basically really comfortable riding, too.
For commuting I think comfort and the right accessories are the key. I love my Gazelle -
... but I also love the Dahon and the Xtracycle

Pretty Schwell!
Nice Schwinn. I love hearing about everyone's shopping experiences, especially when they bring something home!
On my way to work this morning I was keeping pace on my Dahon with another woman on her Electra. We were in a crosswalk (we had the light) when a driver turning right in front of us yelled at us (and gestured) for some reason -- couldn't hear him, as he had his windows closed, but it seems he thought he had the right of way.
The other cyclist and I looked at the driver like he had two heads, then proceeded to complement each other's bikes. Good vibes exchanged. Couldn't have thought of a better start to my day.

Well, everything but the vet. Miss Kitty would have a hissy fit. Originally Posted by Tri Girl

I think she approves only if she doesn't have to ride it.
