Relaxed Upright Position

A weekend ride along a river path is about the view, not the aerodynamics.

A Bike You Enjoy Looking At

A bike with personality gets wheeled out on a Sunday. A dull one does not.

Low Upkeep Between Rides

A bike ridden a few times a month should not need tuning before each ride.
