Flies like a Banana
We've added a new bike to the stable. It's yellow.
Is this it?
Nope; and wow, I didn't remember that bike at all.
Is this it?
Yum! But no, that's not it.
Is this it?
No, I'm not a European delivery driver. But we are getting warmer.
Here we go. It's a yellow Juiced CrossCurrent X Step-Through.
After my dentist trip a few weeks ago, I started fantasizing about something a little more sporty.
This bike hit all the high points:
- Long range: 60+ miles
- Hydraulic brakes: a real game changer, reliable and low maintenance.
- Cadence and torque sensor: The harder you pedal the more power you get.
- Hub drive: Less expensive than the higher end mid-drives and simultaneously more functional because you can press a lever and get instant acceleration.
- Cool name: Juiced bikes.
I replaced the front mountain bike style handlebars with these dragonfly bars and it just feels delightful.
This morning, I got out for a journey of pleasant trails and new sights scouting for your visit.
