Kelly, I'm where you are. But I'm still riding my aluminum/carbon bike until I save enough for my rivbike.
The proverbial straw was getting ready to go to Traders to pick up a few things. I had an epiphany when I realized I have to get kitted up to go to the grocery store on my bike. It was then I decided I need a new more comfortable and practical bike. I haven't looked back since. I tried a Betty Foy at RBW and I felt like a kid again. No clipping in. No diaper pants and not tight smelly synthetics. I didn't even wear a helmet (shh don't tell anyone). It was the best feeling I had on a bike in a long time. Since my visit to the Mothership, I've gotten rid of my computer, started wearing cashmere sweaters and hats on my commute and put a basket on my racing bike. I still have cleats, cuz I refuse to put anymore money in this bike. I can't wait to get my Riv. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Thanks for the excellent write up.
