Comment on Update & New Bike by FloridaHoneybee

Hi, Im in FTL.

I ride everywhere. I drive if the distance is too much. LOVEEE slow biking. I have a Cannondale Bad Boy now. It was my Christmas present to myself.
It is fun, fast but very uncomfy. I just simply hate leaning forward. I don’t like road bikes. Love Rivendell and their road bike design–Im just not comfortable with the leaning forward and the straight or drop bars.

So, I am looking tobuy a Dutchie. For all purposes the Amsterdam will suffice. Unfortunately, it has recall issues.

It sure was fun to ride though. I also have tothink I have totake the bike up a flight of stairs. Do I want to lug up and down daily a $1300 beast from Batavus? Leaving outside is not an option.

Recently rode the autogear shift from Trek–didn’t like.
Rode a Trek Pure–didnt like.

I have a 1969 Schwinn. It is a beast actually quite painful to ride. Im always getting scratched, bruised–and she is heavy. Selling her too. LOL!

Do you like the Townie? Did you try Globe? Jamis?

Comment on Shopping For A New Bike – The Dutch Bikes by FloridaHoneybee

Im in FTL.
I think there is a Dutch Bicycle shop in St. Augustine.

The Amsterdam has various recalls. I love riding it. Longevity–ehhh
for $500 and a larger dealer support system—why not–I guess.

Im a slow bike fan! I have a Cannondale Bad Boy. I am selling it. Not comfy at all. I have grown to simply detest the lean forward design. I hate it.

Comment on Bicycle Film Festival Review: The Show by Daniel M. Perez

It was my #1 complain about the show: lack of wide promotion. It was all very targeted to the hipster scene. Which is fine, but there’s far more bicycle riders interested in such a show if they’d only known about it. We’ll see how it goes later this year.
