Had a nice streak of mud on my shorts and backpack when I got in. Guess a fender would help me too.Antennaguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376910535692727519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-29505175006450660322009-03-05T12:18:00.000-06:002009-03-05T12:18:00.000-06:00Awesome!

The Specialized Crossroads is a good hybrid bike. <BR/><BR/>Also, I mentioned the road grime in my post, but how quickly I take my fenders for granted. The Twelve is equipped with SKS Commuter fenders which I'm not entirely that fond of (they've cracked in a few places already in less than a year) but I'd gladly take my hacked, patched-together fenders over no fenders on a morning like this!Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271155305943176738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-36832117033280423252009-03-05T12:09:00.000-06:002009-03-05T12:09:00.000-06:00P.S.

You told me to find a good used $100 bike.<BR/><BR/>There is a long story of it, but I'll spare you... I did recently find one at the BikeStop in Blue Springs. A used Specialized Crossroads i think it's called.<BR/><BR/>Made my first bike ride to the bus stop this morning circa 6am. The 5 miles took me 29 minutes.<BR/><BR/>Also, got a bike locker right at the stop so my bike and gear are safe and sound.<BR/><BR/>What an awesome day for a ride here in KC!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
