This is good advice. On the other hand, although I have several bikes, my Atlantis tends to do both of those tasks happily. I have it set up with very low gears, a rear rack, lights, fenders and a Carradice bag. When I want groceries I put on a couple of easy-on, easy-off grocery baskets, and when I want to ride the hills, I take them off. In fact, I think that Atlantis needs to go up to visit the new-fallen snow in our hills right now. -- -- Anne Paulson He who wills the ends wills the means -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
