NYC streets = roadbike death if you aren’t super careful, which I know I’m not.

Plus I also plan on riding on some light trails and in/through parks. Nothing crazy, which is why I opted for a hardtail over a full suspension bike. I also have an adjustable suspension up front that I can stiffen up (huhuhuh) when I’m on the road.

I was thinking of going hybrid, but this mammer jammer was on sale for a really good price and came with some pretty good components (so i’ve read) especially for the price.

I like “rough riding” lol.
