Everything's Better By Bike

I had Friday off, so a long ride was in order. I had planned to ride to Ogden by way of East Canyon, but weather and a couple other factors demanded a shorter ride. I decided to ride out to Antelope Island and then over to the Marina. Both destinations are beautiful - nobody can deny that. What always amazes me, however, is that everything in between is beautiful as well. Here's a short video taken while I rode along the I-15 frontage road north of Salt Lake City. Everything is, indeed, better by bike!

Super Fly have arrived

Gary Fisher Superfly 100
The best bike I have ever ridden. Really.
The engineers and designers at Fisher got this right.
I took this on the popular 157 trail. including a descent of Joy and was amazed. The way that they have re-worked the suspension on the back so that the wheel sits under your center of gravity makes it ride better than any other.
Everything else fits into the catagory of "what's not to like?"
  • 29er
  • 24.3 lbs. (the bike in the photo) 19.5"
  • Race Proven. 4 US Titles
  • Looks great.
