"I had a beautiful 25 mile ride this morning before church services (I am a Lutheran pastor). It is smooth, comfortable and quick--average speed 17.9 mph. My average speed is up about 2 mph over the Madone. That may have to do more with excitement over the new bike, but it is definitely a smoother ride." Robert Jones "First impressions are good - stiffness will not be a problem as I actually found it very stiff compared to my current bikes. Brendan Millar Distance: 4,368.9miles (7,281.5km) Bamboo bike1 record (before accident): 2,979.3miles, 2010/9/10-10/28 Bamboo bike2 record (after accident): 1,389.6miles, 2010/11/11-12/6 Start/Goal: from Bamboosero in Santa Cruz, CA to Bamboobikestudio in Brooklyn, NYC "The bamboo bike rides really nicely-stiff like aluminum, probably due to the oversize tubes, er, sticks, but more muted like a nice steel frame.
