testing mobile blog

Hope this works...

I have a new friend who does triathalons and she recently finished her first Iron man. I tell you that because I like to brag on her but also to establish credibility. The other night she came by and I let her ride my new Globe Haul 2. I'm going to have her blog about her experience next time I see her. Actually when I asked her to hang out again she responded... "Only because you have a cool bike".

First Ride

Welcome! Appreciate you checking out my Globe bike blog-First post! Before I get to my first ride here's my experience. I've ridden bikes my whole life, worked at my Dad's bike shop growing up(Irvine Bike Co.) and raced BMX in Orange County as a kid. I chose the Haul 2 for it's classic look and comfortable ride. It comes with fenders but I yanked those immediately... don't need 'em, other than that the bike is as it comes. I posted a photo on my facebook and my friends were quick to comment- "a classic", "pimp", "perfect", "old school", "looks like a woody bike". My first ride was thru town to the gym and I was totally bummed when I got there because I wasn't done riding and was freaked about leaving it. After a few more spins around the neighborhood, I parked, locked it up, did the gym and rode home. I love this bike! Super good looking, rides great and the disc brakes work really good for quick stops... Thank you!
