    Sorry but I'm relatively new to biking--just started in April--and don't know all the brand names yet.

    Sooo...when I first saw that you had bought a "surly long haul trucker" I got a mental image of my husband all cranky, unshaven, hungry, and tired when he was doing long-haul trucking! And I had to wonder, now why buy something like that??

    NOT MY DH but gives you an idea of the first thing I thought of!

    Squirrell, I'm right there with you in thinking it was something else. I thought it was going to be an attachable cart for hauling things behind the bike.

    I like your misconception better. I grew up around a trucker dad and uncles and boy can they be surly and entertaining.

    Congrats on the new bike, ginny.

    Trucker hats off to your new surly!
