For city riders looking for style

For city riders looking to get fit

That's the  Trek's  7.4 FX Disc ($770), a bike with a light aluminum frame that's made for speed

For endurance riders

For those looking for a road endurance ride, check out the Trek Domane  (6.2c is $4,399 - $4,400), noting the bike had won two of this  year's toughest races — Paris-Roubaix and Tour of  Flanders.

The bike is stable, with road-smoothing  iso-zone tampers that make for a clean ride.

For women endurance riders

The Ruby  by Specialized (compact version, $1,600) is geometry- and fit-tuned for  women.

For road performance and racing

The Venge  by Specialized ($14,000 for the top of the line S-Works Super Record  EPS) has a stiff, aerodynamic frame that makes it super-fast.

 And the "lightweight carbon frame  with premium parts builds makes the bike worth every penny,"

Another option for road performance and racing

If you're looking for something personalized, check out the Trek Project One Madone (prices vary).

The New Madone 7 series frame is Trek's lightest and stiffest frameset  yet, and new Kammtail aero tube shapes with a bottom bracket-mounted brake "make  the Madone faster than ever."

For mountain bikers

Check out the SWorks  Stumpjumper FSR Carbon  29 ($9,500) for people looking to jump on a mountain bike.

The lightweight carbon  all-mountain bike can go anywhere fast, uphill or downhill. And "brain"  technology ensures that the suspension is only activated when it's needed..

There you have it folks! Enjoy riding this spring!

By the way, how many of you remember your first bicycle ?

Talk about it.

Rev

I own a bike and I do ride to the train station during the summer also I ride at Long Beach on the boardwalk during spring and summer. Hopefully the boardwalk is repaired because it was completely destroyed by Sandy.

Bicycle for nuns.

I have a MBK fitness bike these days. I do troll around the east coast once or twice a week and ride to the national park or seawall bandstand to check out the races. when the weather is good i even ride to the 'backdam' and check out the water conservancy.

I made many laps in that National Park back in the days.

I found that most riders would start their move behind the grandstand where you would be setting up for moving with the wind. I had a habit of getting out of the group as we made the last turn after coming down from the small bridge and headed into the wind.

spoken like an expert, i find these days only a small number of racer finish in the park; the wind and the 'once you are lapped you are out rule'. the last event saw eight or seven finishers.

Devil takes the hindmost, that's when you see guys scramble at the last minute to get the jump on their competition.

The mornings are still quite cool in T.O so you've got to ride with proper gear or you freeze up on the bike. Booties are worn over the shoes, long leggings under the cycling pants along with a good windbreaker jacket, headgear and gloves.

Short sleeves and shorts are okay during May-Oct other than that, start dressing warm.

Y is every body from town? Villagers does enjoy bicycle rides too.

Blasted town ppl screwed up B.G.

Tell we about someadem rides nuh? Where are the tracks etc in the villages or is jus road riding?

Is a road ting. Nineteen road. Yuh know wey dat is? 

No, where is it?

Brudda:

You need to post some photos of those bikes so that us novices can see what you are really talking about.

Nineteen now becomes heaven

 As with all things you obviously do not know s.hit about bikes. That is not a disk equipped bike and it is not made for speed but for comfort in mild off road settings and street. It is more a commuter bike given its pricing.

That's quite a collection there.   I ride my teenage daughter's $80 bike in the summer and I thoroughly enjoy it.

No one is riding down hill on that bike unless they want to get killed. It is an aggressive XC/singletracking bike. I actually have the 2006 epic comp with the autosag brain rear foxshock. It is the same one on this bike.

Stormy:

You are 99% correct. The Rev don't know shyt about bikes--but I enjoy bike rides in the park when the weather gets warm.

Now stormy, why don't you call up Dave Vollbach and cuss him out---Vollbach is a salesperson and instructor at New York-based Bicycle Habitat, ---he is the one who shared his top picks above ---all the Rev did was copy and paste.

STOP BEING DISAGREEABLE STORMBORN AND SHARE SOME OF YOUR BIKING EXPERIENCE.

Remember this is GNI social---we are supposed to be nice here---if you want to cuss the Rev---check me out in political.

Rev

I am telling you what I know. I do not need another reference to affirm what should be axiomatic for  bikers. Bruddaman is a wrench, ask him.

Being nice to you is like inviting gangrene on a foot just to increase the difficulty of a hike.  Actually, you to me is more like a boot to an ant; the ant does not have to pick a quarrel to get stepped on. It simply has to exist.

I learned to ride on my dad's Big Ben, under bar master it with dignity too

not much of a rider now

Cane cutters used to love Big Ben---check this one out:

By the way riya--that's how I learned how to ride on my dad's bicycle---underbar---you would grab onto the bar with the right and and have the left hand on the handle.hahaha

Rev

I still have my 1973 French made Hosteler 10 speed bike. I also have a Bianchi. They are worth a few dollars.  Never rode a bike since 1978.

And then there's that 'rass ole' bike at the gym that I ride and no matter how much effort I put in the damn thing don't move.

Hmmmm! You look good on that "rass ole" bike at the gym alena ?

Rev

Is this what your Hosteler looks like ?

Rev

Rev,

Yes, it was blue and man did it look good!

Just a note to you folks who measure your worth on who did what....Amerindians number into the dozens who have ridden the tour de France. I have never seen an Indian there.  I do not think there is an Indian on any Pro team. This year we may have a black rider. There are a few riding in the classics.  There is one Japanese rider who rode the Tour that I know of and a few others on the Pro Teams. Biking has not attracted very many non white athletes. My guess it is because it is an expensive sport and takes a minimum of around 40 million yearly to have a competitive team
