Interesting stuff, guys.
Oh, sorry, I’m confused. Is the Giant Stormguard a Yamaha bike rebranded, Marcela?
In any case, I was just trying to say that Stormguard is a nice bike!
Wow. Why would anyone be ashamed to own one of those? :)
Looks like a really nice bike, Marcela. Giant is a winner, as I watch @RabH continue to put amazing mileage on his road bike.
Do you know why Yamaha is stopping shipment? Your post was the first I’d read about that.
Hey, that’s a really nice cap, Jeremy, but the adjustment clip and the brim would probably not work well under my helmet. Anyway, looks really nice. Heck, I’d wear that for pretty much anything else.
Not sure how ferry ride is, Rab, but this idea has always intrigued me. Having said that, I probably wouldn’t use one of these on open water. Still, these “shuttle bike” kits can be carried in a backpack and they look like fun!
The tech wars continue… The Gobao is interesting because you can use it with a “shifter” if you want to. I don’t know if any of the competition offer that. Having the ability to shift (even if it’s not gears)n would potentially make it palatable to a guy like me. CVTs in cars nauseate me...
From my turn-around point on my usual 20mi round-tripper. My friend, Matt, joined me with his crazy-light Specialized analog road bike, proving yet again that riding the rail trail around here can be done on skinny tires. But, yeah, I didn’t drag him to any of the single tracks I often take. :)
