Cruising along almost effortlessly at close to 20 mph, but still elevating my heart rate, getting the blood coursing through my veins, sucking up Vitamin D and opening my visual horizons to something far better than a cubicle wall and two LED screens - it was an epic taste of summer. I loved it...
Riding my Urban Silver Metallic Supercharger GT Touring home tonight (sounds a bit long and amped-up) I was so content with how solid and easy rolling this aluminum beast beneath me was. The big, fat 650b wheels and Schwalbe Supermoto-X tires seemed to spin without resistance. The Bosch Performance CX drive system and dual 500Wh lithium batteries seemed to be sipping the same air as me. I was feeling elation and celebrating the joy of a new bike...
I intend to put my Riese & Muller bike through some tests, towing my Burley Nomad trailer, hauling my dog Jesse 'and things' in regions close to home, at the beginning - then expanding life encounters in new places in concert with the VanLife thing. Also, seeking out places that others post as must-ride destinations. All I know for now and for certain is, there is nothing like a bike.
On top of that, nothing like an electrically-assisted. I am truly convinced, it uses less energy than me, every mile I ride... and I'm almost to 50 miles in just two days of riding this week. Lovin' it...
