Well. New-second-hand bike.

I've been having an interesting time of late, working half the month from home in Melbourne and the other half interstate working in Sydney.

As a result, my triathlon training has been slipping. So it was time to get a second bike for Sydney.

So now I have my second bike, and I'm bloody happy with the purchase - or I will be, when I see the guy from eBay.

Picked up this nearly-new Felt S32 tri bike.

It complements nicely my current bike, the Felt T23 hybrid road/tri bike, which I use in Melbourne.

Can't wait to give it a shot!

Looks awesome.

Still sad that my college doesn't allow bikes.

How can that be? That seems exceedingly strange.

Keep up the good habit. I ride my bike to work every day. Even for an old guy, it just makes sense in so many ways.
I ride in the desert instead of the city. And do some unpaved roads on weekends. So I need fat tires with lots of green stuff in them. But, if I were close to civilization, I would truly envy your ride.

I've got a fat-tire hybrid for casual commuting as well - it was only since I started riding seriously that I truly appreciated how fun a commuter bike can be!
