I am now a bicycle geek :)

Wife and I ventured out on a mission to get nice bikes and excercise... My pants keep shrinking, so I thought that this was a fun start :)

We got Trek's from the bike store next to my old company, Proton. I've known the guy for 8+ years and he's GOOD at what he does.

At any rate I got a 29'er sport - Wahoo
For the wife: A dual sport 29 Neko.

I got saddle bags and everything because it's BEYOND practical!! Then I get get beer... I mean... Groceries :)

I LOVE IT! Wife and I biked 15 miles the first day after we got em... Probably not the best idea considering that we hadn't biked for over 12 years... We were in pain that evening. 12 hours of sleep later I was good to go again thank god! Did 3 miles for lunch today :)

At any rate, now I must customize the living HECK out of this bike and make it MINE :) (Just like I do to my Toughbooks :swords: ) I've already added water bottle holder (only one but will get one more), back rack with saddle bags on BOTH sides and a better gel seat.

Any tips appreciated! It feels good to be back in the bike world! :notworthy:

Hahaha, Yeah.

For starters, I'll mount my Cell phone on the front. My wife already has one on hers but her phone is small.

I think I'm going to get in touch with my lady over at Gamber for a parts list for that to start with!

If I can get a U1 with GPS for a reasonable price I will mount one on :)

Thanks!

MEH! With a U1, I'd get at LEAST 8 hours. Wouldn't need a generator!

Yes it would, but time you put all of your other gadgets on there you may need it, LMAO.
