Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.

Damn right! Unless I have a chick to bike with I refuse to ride on road any longer than the 15-20 minutes it takes for me to get to work.Colonel Olrik wrote:Mountain Biking is the present and the future. I rode 212 Km on road in one day last weekend. It's tough, but it is DEAD BORING.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they can call it whatever they want but a Scandium frame is just a fancy aluminum frame with trace amounts of scandium to improve the strength, grain structure, and fatigue resistance. And as one of my friends likes to say, "aluminum is for pop cans".Anyway, I have a carbon fiber bike. Not this one, though. This one is made of Scandium 2.
@aerius
I do admit to being biased, I will only ride steel or titanium bikes. I refuse to touch aluminum (fatigue failures), carbon fiber (notch sensitive, shitty failure mode, bad impact resistance), thermoplastic (see carbon fiber), or any other such bikes.

Just chiping in here.
I have what aerius and the colonel would call a crap mountain bike, hey at least it came with spd pedals so it’s not utter crap just crap
I like biking great way to get into shape in the spring and it has done wonders for my average heart rate and general fitness, not that I would call myself fit anyway but I am in better shape now than before.
Biking for 40-60m/day to and from work is nice but sorta sad that I can’t do it now because of the weather.
