I try and ride to work (about 3 miles each way) at least 3 times a week depending on the weather. I get to ride through Prospect Park that is closed to traffic during the day for about 2 ? miles out of my commute so it is nice and peaceful for the majority of the ride. On the way to work in the morning it is mostly up hill including a killer during part of the last mile. A great start to the day. The trip home is mostly downhill so it?s an easy trip after a long day at work. I had an old road bike but it just took (and gave me) too much of a beating on the streets of Brooklyn. In the spring of 2009 I bought a used GT Avalanche 3.0 hard tail non disc Mountain Bike for $200;
I put some flashing lights, front and back, on it but otherwise it?s stock. It?s nothing fancy but does the job.
So tell me a story and post a picture; what kind of riding are you doing these days and what are you riding?
