Wha...who brought to the table "Physical Therapy after Riding"?! :newsmile078:

This is "Reading after Riding" maybe we should title the thread "Why weekends not spent on your Harley is Hazardous to Your Health" :small3d011:

Statistically, by most households in the US, the bicycle is the considered one of the most dangerous piece of equipment as insurance carriers probably can attest...:shock

Yeah I have a 22 lb Carbon Fibre Road Bike and Hard Tail Mountain bike, and I luv 'em too. :D
 
Perhaps you had stale fuel. As I understand it, those Trek bikes have an alchol engin and if you let you fuel get a little stale it can really inhibit preformance.

Hobbit, road bikes are dangerous, actually, the bikes are a blast, but over here, they are more dangerous since no one can drive. All my friends that have gotten seriously injured over here were all on road bikes. Either hit by a car, or wiped out in a pack.

I'll take my bass boat blue Schwinn in the woods any day.
 
See what you get for showing off......I once had a crash at about 30 mph, taco'd both wheels. Hint, don't pass in the tall grass, you can't see the big rocks. :s
 
As the Lone Ranger said..."Whoa big fella..." just take the mountains and roads at 8/10s pace...you'll be fine! I like the feel of a mountain bike slipping and sliding, but only on single tracks (after a long early spring warmup)...too easy to get twisted up and shortening the riding season by doing the really knarly stuff...downhill riders are a little "sublime" eh...Hobbit!
 
I can wait till the come out with belt drive for my mountain bike
getting tired of the oily chain mess
