PROJECT INFO

This is a project dedicated to develop the most comfortable and practical bicycle experience. This is not a strive for high tech performance or visual impressions. My aim is to develop the old bicycle concept further and find simple solutions possible for anyone to make. The focus is set on comfort, on enjoyment, on slow speed - not optimum speed performance. As an all year cyclist, with a lot of experience, having tested recumbent bikes, I search for a compromise. A compromise that anyone could use, in addition to an enhanced enjoyment riding a bicycle. My goal is to share my view & belief of a better tomorrow, free of pollution, noise and fast paced life.

Hi,
I'm John. I live in Palm Desert, CA. I've been road biking for about 8 years. I'm trying to get back into better shape to ride some centuries, etc. and, hopefully, finish a double century next year. It's sometimes difficult to fit in training with my work schedule, and the summer heat here.

 

[ccallana]

I'm Chris from Folsom California. Software engineer by day - wanna be bike rider other times

I currently ride a 1993 Haro V3a mountain bike, converted to a hybrid with a more upright bar and street tires...

I'm looking to buy a road bike - been looking at used Giant TCRs, but there aren't many in my area (more if I'm willing to drive a couple hours). I'd like new, but I can get higher end frame and components if I go a few years old for the same price.

Ello!

I'm James, 28 year old guy from Tulsa, OK. I was at one time a runner but my buddy at work introduced me to cycling(road) and I've completely fallen in love with it.

I try to squeeze in 150mi or so a week, but the temps lately have made getting anything 40mi+ in before work a fairly tedious chore. I've been looking for morning people to ride with, as I'm usually alone when riding. So if any of you other tulsans are around - hit me up as I do occasionally need some social time on the bike since my co-worker has become impossible to drag out of bed for a morning bike ride.

Welcome and nice bike. How do you like working in bike store and can I ask what do you do there?

I do whatever they ask and then some. I work on the bikes, assemble new bikes, sell shoes, bike apparel, parts. Its is a lot better than working in a job you hate.

Where - Whangaparaoa which is about 40km north of Auckland, New Zealand.

Training - I've only just got my first road race bike and have been riding around 18km which I will increase very shortly. Just don't want to hurt myself too early. Am starting to train for the Taupo Challenge which is a 160km ride around the lake there, in November.

What: Got myself a Merida Road Ride 904 with full Shimano 105's. First bike, love it so far..

[Tom92673]

Hi I'm Tom and live in Southern California. I work full time and have two young children, so training and time management are a challenge. I started training / exercising in January of this year in order to lose some weight. I am running/swimming/biking at least a couple days a week. One of those three by the way, not all three. Well, the more I run the more my feet hurt, and the more I bike, the better I enjoy it, so I'm thinking of focusing in on the biking. I'm riding a Scattante 660 that I bought 6 years ago. It basically gathered dust in my garage for the last several years. Now that I'm riding it a bit, I'm starting to feel the pull to get into something higher end. I'm a bit of a brand guy, so I'm looking at higher end bikes. I'm sure I'll end up getting something that exceeds my capability, but I am hoping to grow into it. Any advice for bike shops in South Orange County would be appreciated.

thanks,
Tom

Afternoon,

My name is Jim. I live in Plano, Texas. I've been away from (road) cycling for a lot of years, and getting back into it to get back in shape, and loose a few pounds. I am a Scoutmaster and We will be going to Philmont next July and the "Doc" wants me to loose some weight and I agree.

I have had a 24 Speed Motobecane 600DS MTB for about 6 years, since my son is a teenager and we have been riding dirt together. I had a Bianchi Olympic 30 years back and miss the road work.

Have spent way too much time behind a computer designing products on a CAD system, and need to get back in shape where the diet isn't taking the last 15 ponds off.

I'm starting with a couple of 15-20 mile routes while I get back in shape, and I will have a road bike again, in a month or two.

[tandemracer]

Howdy! I have been a cyclist since the seventies. Started riding and racing tandems with my wife since before we were even married.

We just moved from Nashville to Łódź, Poland to work for a few years. The bikes get here in a few more days so I need to figure out where to ride.

 

[Michael15]
