Andrea wanted to get out and exercise more. She wanted to get bikes and thought that would be fun to spend some of her bonus on. We went to Bike Tech off Bird Road (SW40th) and had a great experience. We tried on many bikes and went thru all the options. It took over three hours to go from test ride to installing the bike rack, loading up and heading home.
I picked out a Specialize RockHopper. It has the 19" frame, 26" wheels, the Rox Shox 3, spring loaded with lock out for road riding and cantilever brakes. There just is no need for disc in FL and they are higher maintenance.
Andrea picked out the Specialized Carmel Hybrid bike. She had her heart set on an Electra with "flat feet technology" where the peddles are forward so when you stop you are not on your tippy toes, but can put your foot flat on the ground. Her legs were not long enough to take advantage of this. Riding the Carmel just felt right for her. She picked gray to match her dry suit.
One of Andrea's co-workers was nice enough to give us the two seat bike trailer for the boys. I hooked it up to my bike and have no problem towing them around. However, after a ride with them I love to take it off and go for a spin. I feel like I'm flying without the extra drag!
