It’s so light! It’s interesting, because when I read reviews, they all comment on how heavy it is compared to more expensive road bikes, but coming from my background with a hybrid, the road bike is SO light.
I mostly use it for commuting though, as a way of keeping up my fitness, and cross training for my running, which is my main interest. I average about 22km/h on my commutes. Much faster when I do dedicates rides on bike paths, but I don’t do them so much
I personally like aluminum frames better than steel or carbon because its a good in between light and sturdy.
I’ve been training for a 100 mile dash on my bike and I’m trying to get my average from 13 mph to 15 mph. I love my bike, I take my bike through the worst weather conditions like snow and rain and its so fun. What’s your before meal preparation for bike rides?
Do you ride a bike? If you do what bike do you have?
I ride a Merida Scultura 200, which is like Baby’s First Real Roadbike :)
Thats a super cool bike, I ride a marlin 8 gen 2 and I’ve only injured myself a few times
Oh, a cross country bike! That sounds like it would only be a matter of time before I came off it :P
I’ve never ridden a road bike, what’s it feel like and whats your average speed?

Generally nothing more than a coffee.
I get up early, I have my coffee, and then I ride. I eat on the other side of the ride :)
Really, I would suffer if I didn’t eat anything and I would be going slower than a running chicken.
