I'm with you Blue. My mountain bike was a necessity, as was my cruiser/townie. And I could even argue that my 'cross bike was necessary; a huge help in training to improve my fitness (for mountain biking, of course), I can keep up with my roadie friends, and I might do a little ‘cross racing this fall.Originally Posted by bluebug32

I'll tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than any one thing in the world. I rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a bike. It gives her a feeling of self-reliance and independence the moment she takes her seat; and away she goes, the picture of untrammelled womanhood. ~ Susan B. Anthony
