If you have more than one bike, how do you decide which one to ride on any given day? I faced such a choice this morning after the streets dried off from last night's monsoon.
After chugging an extra cup of Joe to think it over, I realized I subconsciously look for a certain kind of experience when I choose. At first, I felt the need for simplicity and hassle-free fun so I was drawn to the new friction drive. No frills, no complication, bullet-proof reliability. By the time my cup was empty, the lure of a more cushy ride and shifting gears changed my mind, so I jumped on the Higgins.
What motivates those of you with multiple bikes to pick one over the others? Is it different power options, different comfort levels, or is it a mystical attraction to your favorite ride?
