Yup. Solo. It's pure road so if something happens I can phone for help. Granted those roads are horrible and give my front fork a helluva workout.

You does make this ride alone? Purely roads?

But I ride 12 miles a day Mon to Fri. And today I went by my father in El Dorado so that was a nice ride from St Helena. I suppose its nothing compared to real riders out there, I use a MTB because I can keep my back straight, the wind is a huge killer though so I guess this is where road bikes come in but my belly too big to bend down so low on a road bike. LOL
Since the beginning of this year I have done about 700 miles on my bike so far, I bought it Christmas.
I love my bike but hate the fact that the wheels are only 26 inch. Always has this thing in the back of my mind telling me to sell it and get a 29 or 27.5 but since the tires on this bike are very big honestly the bike doesn't look bad I think the huge tires makes up for the wheel size.
My Fork isn't hydraulic though its only spring so that is one major drawback besides wheel size. I have attached to the bike a Turbo Morph G pump and Cygo Lite Streak 450 lumen. It flashes at 650 Lumen, it is blinding at nights. If you have it on flashing mode and the road is dark it can damage your eye if the light hits the white line on the road.
One thing I notice about this bike the wheel NEVER goes out of true even with my 250 pound weight in offroad, not sure if its because the wheel is smaller but when I had a 29er years ago a similar Fuji the wheel would always go out of true when I hit a bump, this one is just perfect, dunno if its because small wheel size is stronger? I doubt it.... they probably just using better machines for manufacturing now.

EFFECTIC DESIGNS wrote:yeah 12 miles is nothing, you must keep in mind a bike is designed to make movement from point A to point B as effortless as possible and it does that very good. Yess you pedal you are the motor but that does not mean it takes a lot of effort.
Then there are roadbikes, lighter frames and wheels, very thin tires with super high PSI makes rolling resistance small and hence riding 50 miles even easier. There is a misconception that cycling takes a lot of fitness and effort, it actually does not.
I does save a LOT of money in transport by using my bike to commute to work but the biggest factor for me is the traffic. That traffic from Curepe to St Helena is too dread on evenings and mornings. I does mash that up with my bike, just ride in the center of the road on the white line but only do it when there is traffic stand still, NOT a good idea to ride in the middle of the road when cars speeding.
