<p>@CJ: Thats a great compliment, thanks bud. </p>
<p>@David Simmons: I knew there had to be more of us out there. Keep tearing it up on the Trek!</p>
<p>@DerferMArk: Thanks for noticing the video. That is Palos. On this occasion it was Orange to Midway and then 394 bus I think. Metra does not run on weekends :(</p>
<p>@Tom A.K.: Agreed. If I could have all the bikes in the world, I would, trust me. </p>

A 'Fad' perhaps. It is obviously a good 'workout' bike best suited for young legs and (knees). A cycling community friend of mine once let me ride his fat-bike during a ride on the 6O6's flat surface and it was a definite increased resistance ride for my maturing (old) legs.<br />
I enjoy my Trek 3700 MTB, but I do love the ease of efficiency on my road bike.

<p>Nice vid Marcelo! What CTA/Pace route do you take to get out there, assuming you're at Palos? And that full-suspension steed of yours is quite luxurious!

<p>Great article! I'm a year-round cyclist and ONLY have two bikes. Some might find that hard to believe...even blasphemous. I ride a 23 year-old Trek 820 95% of the time. I use it for my commute, my errands, my transportation, and for recreational rides. From time to time, I'll ride my flat-bar Felt road bike (an entry-level road bike I might add). My road bike is typically used for longer weekend rides.</p>

<p>The truth is, most people really only need one good bike in good condition. Sure, the bike industry has done a nice job of developing lots of fantastic bikes in the past couple decades and cyclists have benefited. But you won't see me buying a fat tire, cyclo-cross, tri, cruiser, folding, e-bike, recumbent, or any other bike any time soon.</p>
<p>I'm sure the "next big thing" for the bike industry is just around the corner. As with all the other trends over the past couple decades, I'll ignore it and blissfully cruise around on my Trek.</p> Great article. when i saw th…tag:thechainlink.org,2017-03-16:2211490:Comment:10458642017-03-16T17:11:17.295ZCJhttps://thechainlink.org/profile/CJ
