He’s
been riding for about 3 years. (2.5
to be exact as he was bikeless for 6 months when he was in Vancouver).
In the 3 years, he’s ridden ONE bike, a Mongoose 7.3. While he admits
that it is not very exciting, we can’t figure out if he plans to stay
with it or switch this year. Stay tuned...
We
missed out on being the people that most influenced him to ride as his
cousin got to him first. But we are grateful nevertheless.
In
the 3 years, YM has developed an eye for ‘dream’ bikes and his Road
Bike dreams involve the OCLV Treks used by the USPS team. Having spent
time in Canada, his dream mountain bike is a Rocky Mountain Vertex Sc. He
welcomes any advice from anyone interested to give him some and will wait
till later in life to dish out his own brand of YM wisdom. With his
working life yet to start he may get to achieve his best cycling moment
which is to do a self supported bike tour around the world. He is still
young so he maintains that every moment on the bike is fun so there
aren’t any ‘bad’ days. Hmm.. that line sounds familiar. His best
bike purchase is his one and only Mongoose 7.3 but he thinks that he paid
and exorbitant price for it that that gets added to his worst bike related
purchase.
