    Hybrids are great for riding and fitness. I have a hybrid when I ride at the beach with my family and on my bike trainer in the garage.

    Wow I last posted on this thread in 2016 with plans to pick up a Felt tri bike, that sure didn't happen, got an Argon 18 E-117 Tri instead. My current "road" bike is a Specialized Diverge Expert, it's the bike I would keep over all others if I could only have one bike. I also picked up a low entry Specialized Roll which is great for casual riding on paved trails to grab a drink, lunch or even light errands that are nearby.

    Opinions needed. My Girlfriend is about to purchase her first pair of either bibs or shorts, can you comment on which type is preferred over the other and why? Thanks. - (I've always worn bibs)

    I only recently started wearing bibs and I like them a lot more then I thought I would. My wife has said she wouldn't want to wear them because of the extra effort for going to the bathroom, top off first, then pull off the "suspender" part of the bibs to pull down and then lots of material to hold/manage. The bibs I have been wearing don't have that issue for me, I can pull the front down enough to go, the advantage of being a guy. It's all equalized for men and women if your gut decides to go south and you gotta take a crap though.

    Once you try Bibs you'll never wear regular shorts again. Huge difference in support and comfort. also, if your jersey is a tad smaller in the back, you don't have to worry about your skin being exposed (sunburn).

    Great color combo and great match! The red tires, red highlighted seat, valve stem caps and carbon water bottle holders are cool.

    Nice a road bike thread! All things bikes and tacos is mostly mtn bikes, which is fine just not for me. Here is the Synapse a couple weeks ago checking out Crater lake. They close 3/4 of the road around the lake to cars twice a year, so a great opportunity for some nice climbs and beautiful scenery. Strava said A little over 2400 ft in elevation gain, road a little to rough for me to really let loose on the downhills, I think my top speed was only 34mph.
