Happy 10th Birthday to the best bike I've ever owned!


'Big Red', my 2011 Giant FCR3500, just turned 10! It has been my trusty steed for ten great years and over 16000km of riding. While there's not much left that's original from the time of purchase (only the frame, fork, seatpost, and stem) it's still by far been the best bike I've ever owned, and I'm looking forward to many more happy years together, especially since I feel it's riding better now than it ever has. 🚲

My best bike turned 21 this year - I'm taking it out for beers.

With all my older 'children', the cost of birthday cakes & candles is getting out of hand. And the fire danger of blowing out more than 40 candles.........
