I'm eager to take Beatrix into DC and ride her in a real, live urban environment this spring and am already jotting down group ride dates in my calendar.<br /><br />May you get to spend many happy hours in the saddle this year!Melanie Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02540747770586922326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481265.post-7981622977406446532013-01-04T14:43:13.455-05:002013-01-04T14:43:13.455-05:00What a great bike year, Melanie!

Now that you have the Public fixed up, I'm sure she will get even more time too.<br /><br />Happy 2013!G.E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02748009691282638366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481265.post-80409165905756505832013-01-02T17:25:26.408-05:002013-01-02T17:25:26.408-05:00So far, so good.

I'll admit that the new bar shape makes getting up hills more strenuous because it's harder to lean in and get more leverage, but I really like the feel of them on flats. The curve of the handlebars is also helping keep wrist pain at bay. I have some carpal tunnel injuries which makes riding with flat bars a literal pain and the new geometry is a blessing for my hands.Melanie Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02540747770586922326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481265.post-33921356593771279982013-01-02T17:12:24.198-05:002013-01-02T17:12:24.198-05:00I'm curious to hear how you are liking your ne...I'm curious to hear how you are liking your new handlebars on the C8. I've been contemplating changing the bars on my C8 but don't want to wreck the handling after reading how G.E. from endlessvelolove thought that a similar change to her Public made the handling squirrely.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500795990096186605noreply@blogger.com
