BIG RED vs. John Deere

Although the opinion that this new John Deere tractor is more powerful than BIG RED is debatable...one thing is certain...BIG RED gets more miles per gallon.

Bicycles On Lock-Down

Hmmm...Seems like over-kill.

I've pedaled my bicycle thousands of miles and I've never used a lock of any kind. Maybe I'm too trusting?

BIG RED

Earlier this Spring I purchased a new bicycle. After months of research and loss of sleep I decided on a Co-Motion Americano. I wanted to get a few miles under my belt before posting a blog entry regarding my new ride.

After nearly 2000 miles pedaled...it is safe to say that I love my new co-motion. The bike rides smooth and is very solid over rough roads and crushed lime-stone. My co-motion begs to be pedaled up hills. The crank is very strong and the gearing is very exact. Last Friday I completed my first century ride of the year. My route was northbound and I fought a strong head-wind coming out of the northwest. With the drop handlebars, an aspect that is new to me, I was able to cut through the wind somewhat easily. I look forward to experiencing many adventures with my Americano.

I've named the bike...BIG RED. The bicycle rides "big" and is dark red...Not to mention, I've always had a soft spot for red heads...BIG RED.

Co-Motion Bicycles are made in Eugene, OR.

THE MULE is officially retired. I estimate the THE MULE has between 45000 and 50000 miles on her. She was ridden hard and put away well worked. THE MULE...rest well my friend...rest well.
