now I find THAT sexy .. I love cycling myself - but don't think I'm in your league - I commute a lot when weather permits - around 50 km round trip - but it is a passion - I have a hybrid.
Thanks, Selkie.
Hybrids are cool, I consider my silver steed 20% mountain bike since I modified it heavily.
it works for me ... and as it is inter-city (DAMN streetcar tracks LOL) its the best solution - but I'm developing a yen for something that is more about speed and less about comfort ....
