My loyal #2: Cannondale r700, or Caramel as I like to call her. So smooth, so fast, so clean, I love it. The freedom of the road is priceless. Slap on my LiveStrong braclet and my Team Discovery jersey and I'm Lance Armstrong going for number eight.
And finally, the latest addition to my growing collection #3: My inheritance. Frederick W. Lauer's 1978 Nishiki road bike. Known to me as the dusty bike from the garage, she has transformed for me into...The Gray Goose. A gray and silver steel framed beaut. Sure she has some kinks, shes hefty, the rides not the smoothest, she needs a new handbar tape job, the rear derailer is sketchy at best, but she has character. Newly rejuvinated and in the prime of her life, the Gray Goose and I are looking forward to many commutes and miles of adventure in the years to come. (Pictures on the way)
Jump on the green bandwagon- get a bike.
LYLAS, R.F. Lauer
