Shopping for commuter...(A little bit long)

[Red Rock]

Well, I found and bought the bike that will do the job for me. I went to the Specialized dealer in town and told them I was looking for a commuter. He showed me the Crosstrail bikes and was explaining them to me. Then I took it for a spin. Wow! Basically it is a cross between a mountain bike and a road bike together. Aluminum frame, semi road/mountain tires and totally awsome.

I had them put on clips and a rear rack. I also picked up some casual riding shoes that will work too. I was just so happy. I am glad that I had gone to all of the shops in town. (By coinsidence, I worked with the owners wife a while ago. She knows how much of a bike nut I am.) This shop had more equipment, things (Like spoklights) that I thought I would never find in this town. It was everything I can find here on TE and other places. I was stoked.

Then I came home changed clothes and went for a two hour ride around town. I needed it anyway because of all of the adrenaline going through my system. I was so happy plugging along and enjoying life.

Here is a picture. No name yet.
