| That was our exact motivation - exercise that we can do together. There are some awesome trails in our area, but I don't have any aspirations of jumps or serious mountain riding. :)
We actually tried a few of the cross-over and hybrid styles, but both preferred mountain bikes. It was somewhat surprising to see how much you can spend on one of these things. We ended up getting nicer bikes than we expected (imagine that!) and still spent well less on both than some of the higher-end models. Hydraulic disc brakes on a bike...how awesome is that?
Take care,
Jerry | |

| | Aahhh, I'm jealous! I had a mountain bike before I got sick. I rode it everywhere even in 18 degree weather. It was purple like most everything I own. I rode it at night, so I had front and rear lights, the works. I had more fun with that bike. Hope you guys have a great time. | |

| My apologies in advance if I'm being rude, but can I ask about your illness? Not sure if you remember - we met at the Union City show earlier this year.
Okay, before this is a complete hijack of my own thread  we went on a 25 mile ride this afternoon. My butt hurts like hell. :) Sure was fun, though. I still can't get over the fact that my bike has disc brakes as well as front & rear suspension. Also got the Yakima carrier mounted this morning - what an impressive piece of gear.
Take care,
Jerry
P.S. Tek - forgot to ask - have you ever heard of Iron Horse bikes? I was totally unfamiliar with them, but found it interesting to hear that they're based in Long Island.

| Believe me, if I ever considered wearing something like that, I'd trust that you would kill me. :)
Here are some shots...
Overall I'm very impressed with the carrier. In full schwing it allows plenty of room to access the bed of the pickup as well as the cargo area of the SUV. Mounting the bikes is a bit tedious, but that's partly my fault for buying bikes with such an aggressive frame design.
Take care,

| mountain bikin is great exercise and fun as well
btw, I don't know what kind of riding you have there but the single track around here can be heavyily wooded and nasty. Everyone looks like a dork with a bike helmet on, but your melon will love you for it when you hit the ground or have some dead wood fall from a tree and land on you  | |

| | I used to mountain bike a lot when I was hunger I got new bikes every year. When I was about to turn 16 I bought a $1200 bike and all my friends that I was nuts then I got hit by a car. Mountain biking is a lot of fun you just have to watch yourself things can get hairy quick | |
