I took of my studded tires last week. Nothing like the first commute without studded tires. Today, I got out for my first ride of the season on my Quickbeam.

I think the perfect complement to a Quickbeam would be a geared version of the Quickbeam (I know Riv has similar bikes but I would really like to see a bike that is just a geared version of the QB.
