The LHT is a pretty versatile bike. I have been riding one for about 9 years. The LHT even does things that I would not have expected. Earlier this month I was taking pictures during a 400k brevet, and met 3 guys who were actually riding LHTs. A friend was riding it, and using start time, average speed, and route distances; it was not hard to figure out about where his group was on the route.
The guy on the left in the Oregon jersey is on a LHT. They are almost half way at this point, but could still smile for the camera.
