Love it! I bought a cross bike this summer too, but it's geared more towards the comfort side than road... mine has a huge comfy seat, I can't bring myself to ride on one of those little seats yet. I really want to buy a cross like that next summer though... but I told myself I can't buy one til I get super in shape so we will see how that goes haha.

Where do you ride?

Nice! I do need to learn how to repair bikes as well some day. Tonight I rode with a few guys around the area at Knoch Knolls in Naperville. They also had some of the barricades set up and I practiced on them. It was a fun time.
