Having two different bikes helped me appreciate each even more, as I was able to compare and contrast. I now have three, the third being a "blend of the two".

I could be happy with the one new bike as it fits my needs perfectly. But I like having a variety of riding experiences. And from a practical standpoint, I never miss a commute due to mechanical issues, since there are always two other bikes ready to ride.

Now, if I could only get a second or third human body for me, as my original body seems to require some repair work.
