I drove to downtown Florence, AL this morning, met a couple really nice guys at the Spinning Spoke, and bought a new Trek bicycle. It's a 2022 Verve 3, top of the line and sweet. I had my eye on the LowStep without the middle bar but it was just too big.

I also had them install a rear rack, front and rear lights, a rearview mirror, a kickstand and a water bottle holder. I also bought a lock which is strapped to the rack. This thing also has a cushioned ride on the seat and the front end, with disc brakes front and rear. Price out the door: $1,215.39

When I got home, I hoped on and headed to town and the first thing I ran into was the big hill on Hwy 43 heading North. Heck this thing stresses my truck out but once you get to the top it's relatively flat. I dropped it down into a granny gear and by the time I reached the top I realized I wasn't anywhere in the shape I thought I was. That will come over the Summer.

Rode around town for a bit and I love it. Here's some shots I took when I got back, click the photo below to see the set.
