I ride a bike too. It's one of these. The style is called "cyclo-cross".

95% Road cycling, mostly on my carbon single, but several times a year on the chromoly steel tandem.  My wife is the strong climber and I roll out as best I can to keep up with her pace when we ride together.  Maybe 100 miles per week in season not including tours or ride training camps 3-4 times per year.

Hey Clayton, if you ever make it to Japan, we should team up. May, June, Sept and Oct are great months to tour. Way too hot in the summer though.  I go camping while out on touring. Hotels, can't afford them. LOL

I'll post more pictures on this thread.

I'm enjoying your pictures also. Keep them coming.
