Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

For $3k you should be able to get a pretty nice new bike. You want it; heck, you deserve it! Happy birthday.

Besides, you always need an extra bike for when one is in the shop, a flat tire or is dirty. New bikes have all the cool stuff like electronic shifting and disc brakes. I don't have any of those, but will on my next bike, for sure.

Hope to see you on the Ohio Erie Trail, it's about a mile from my house and we ride it often. When its not closed for repairs.
