Biking

I've taken up biking, largely inspired by watching Scott turn into a total hottie. I want to be just like Scott! Okay, maybe not. But I do need healthier habits.

Here are some shopping links:

• Performance Bicycle -- clothing and other gear.
• Bike Nashbar -- more clothing.
• Primal Wear -- and still more clothing.
• Trek 7.3 FX -- my bike

About My Bike

I ride a new Trek 7.3 FX. This is from Trek's fitness line and is considered a hybrid. That is, it's between a mountain bike and a road bike. It's more upright than a road bike but with the sort of tires, shifters, etc that you'd expect on a road bike. Currently, the only add-ons for it are a couple of water bottle cages and a rack on the back. I'll eventually get some clipless pedals, and I'm thinking of switching out the stem post that attaches the handlebars -- I think I want one that brings the handlebars a little closer to me so I can be a little more upright.
