While I'll admit the daily city ride is not an adventure, but rather a "trial" of me versus driver's who are trying to get into their coffee places (some of the worst places I cross) or getting on or off the expressway (the ultra worst bicycling spots ever) ... however getting out on the roadie and letting the legs stretch for many miles is awesome - and I just cleaned up the offroader and got it ready for the snow - which is also wonderful (course I say that now - ask me again in March, hehe).
And today is the day that I'm switching tires out on the commuter - I have a mtb - and for now it's going back to a knobby tire for this week and will probably install the studded tires next week ... afterall - Tiz the Season!
