Commute in

Bikes are dangerous things.

Not because they are unsafe on the roads or anything, (sometimes they are), just due to the fact you can spend so much money on one.

I am shopping for a road bike to commute with (instead of trusty mountain bike), and every time I think I am settled on what I should invest in, the allure of shiner, fancier bike pulls me in.

I have not committed to a bike yet, and since I hate spending money, the commitment will be a difficult thing.

I think the Trek 2.1 is the way I should go, but it is 600 bucks more than the 1.2 Trek that I originally planned on. In reality the 1.2 will probably fit me just fine, but the 2.1 in every review I have read is the better deal. And every shopping guide I have read has said buy the bike you want, because upgrades are even more costly in the long run.

I am torn. I guess I may just have to flip a coin. And see what my wife thinks.

She will probably slap me for just bringing it up. Pregnant women tend to be vicious! HA.
