Hi

I thought it was about time i showed you my primary mode of transportation.

its a brand new 2006, TREK S500, I'm not quite sure about the mileage on this thing. It runs pretty smoothly on beer, but only to a certain number of beers.

Its all aluminum frame, with disc brakes, 8 gears. Its a beauty...

I would love to drive one of those to work, but at 7000ft elevation and because of past beer consumption it's a tough ride. Add in that winter is approaching and it's gets rather cold here in the mroning I'll stick with my CR-V :D

Yeah, properly a good idea. In Denmark the highest point is around 500 ft, so I don't have to fight elevation(or lack of oxygen) that much. Winters usually suck, cloudy and rainy all the time. Its not fun to use the bike when it rains...

btw I'm going to be interviewed about home brewing, to a national danish newspaper next Wednesday. I'll make sure to mention TBN.
