e**n 发帖数: 1326 | 1 这个tour大概40英里,市区里骑,要跨几座大桥,感觉坡度不小。
现在的车是Cannondale Adventure 4, hybrid bike, spec:

发觉骑快和上坡的时候特别费劲,别人骑跑车的上坡轻松就上去了,我踩的眼睛都直了
。。。
不知到这车有什么地方可以改动一下让他更适合长距离中高速骑行的? |

suggestion is to get a GTR instead.

e**n 发帖数: 1326 | 3 I'll race the M3 for endurance, M3 will run out of gas first.... :)
There is really no way to make my bike a little bit faster?
I am thinking changing to narrow tyres... |
w********6 发帖数: 12977 | 4 Why did you buy a hybrid? If you are really into racing, you should have a
road bike, even a $400 road bike from bikedirect will be way, way better
than your current one, which, frankly, only suitable for your girlfriend :)

e**n 发帖数: 1326 | 5 reason was simple: i thought a $400 bike should be really really good,
compared to the RMB 200 bikes I used before... but i got it 2 years ago, so
it is pretty long time already.
btw, why is bikesdirect so cheap? they don't seem to have too many brands,
are these brands good? |
b******n 发帖数: 1269 | 6 Well, road bikes, regardless of how much they cost, are necessarily faster
because they pay most of the attention to speed on paved road surface, while
hybrids have other things in mind. So an SUV is different than a sports
car.

e**n 发帖数: 1326 | 7 i see...
so there is really no last minute fix? it may take weeks for me to get rid
of my current hybrid.
also what's the story of bikesdirect, is it really good?
i haven't see any cheap bike stores in NJ/NY area. |

Nice to see you again here.

s**a 发帖数: 1995 | 9 Lots of people here get bicycles from bikesdirect. Those should fit your 5
boro tour needs. It is durable, light and fast.
Mine has served me more than a year, and I used to commute 20 - 30 miles a
day from Apr - Nov with this one. And it is still in good shape.
BTW, probably you can consider rent one for the tour.
