Default Re: biking

What about this guy: http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/...ixie-track.htm

Seems decent, I would get someone more knowledgeable than me to put it together.

http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/...-wide-tire.htm

Aesthetically, I like that one a lot ^

I am warming up to bigger tires with the roads the way they are. I was into skinny tires for awhile for the speed, but it's not worth it with the roads being shitty. After I ate shit a couple years ago when my tire slipped into a railroad track groove in an industrial area, I got bigger tires and it's resulted in more control and cushioning...but I recently popped a tube hitting a pothole too hard. I've been trying to jump stuff, which is not always successful when I'm carrying a full pannier, ha. It would be cool to have a bike that is more agile/tough.
