You’re looking at my new wheels. I decided to finally break down and get a bike because I didn’t have anything else better to do during the summer and I’m looking to explore Seattle in a bit more intimate setting. I’m also getting this insane idea that it might be fun to participate in a sprint triathlon or longer rides like the Seattle to Portland ride.

I was looking into getting the Cannondale Bad Boy Disc, but ended up going this route for a number of reasons. The Express came with handle bar extenders, a carbon fiber fork and shifters that I considered easier to maneuver than the BBD’s. I took it out for a spin a few days ago and did about 12 miles in Beacon Hill and Madrona. Good times.
