We were both tired of Ben (on his BikeE recumbent) not being able to keep up with Kathy (on her upright Cannondale) so we bought ben a nice upright bike. It's a 2006 Trek Pilot 5.2 Flat Bar with an all-carbon frame and skinny-mini, high pressure tires. Except for the upright handlebars and saddle it's a pretty serious racing bike. Now Ben can keep up!
