I used to commute on my old Avanti 12 speed, and bash around our local tracks, but then worked further away and stopped riding. Over Covid I though I should get the bike out again, but it has a bent rear wheel, and I'm not going to fix an old worn out bike. I got another station wagon last year, and higher than the old Volvo...I figure a bike would fit in there with the front wheel dropped out, and then I could take a bike to the many cycle trails in our area.
I looked at a few budget bikes, and not impressed, then I came across this in the next town. It's Australian, alloy frame and good quality components, just a commuter bike, but good enough for gravel trails. First ride around the lake this morning after 10 years off a bike - the bike is great ! I am not ! I walk a lot, but this takes a lot more out of me...so looking forward to getting fitter. Padded pants coming soon too !
It had only been ridden twice since it was a Xmas gift last year...and there was a ladies one too. I took mine home and showed the wife, so we went back and got the other one for her. We'll gift our old '80's era bikes to the local bike guy.
