Alas, I can't join you all for Riv Rally East this year, but I just wanted to pipe up as another Brooklyn-based Riv owner. I've got an original green Quickbeam that I use to get around the city nearly every day, and an A. Homer Hilsen that I ride on the weekends with the New York Cycle Club and when I want to go a bit faster. I stick out a bit on those club rides, what with the lugs and the mustache bars, but everyone likes to draft behind me. *grin*
Good to meet everyone!
