How do these little church mice kids get nice Trek brand bicycles?

Ismael

I don't know about you, but in my city, I get a lot of kids asking me about God and trying to convert me to whatever religion they belong to. Then I see them ride away on nice Trek brand bicycles. What I want to know is how in the hell do they get these bikes and can I join their group to get the bike and quit later?

Answer
They get them at the local bike shop that sells Treks. They were probably Mormon missionaries.

Bicycle for College?

Dave

I will be moving to a new area down at the beach for college and will need a way of getting around to classes.

I have always been interested in cycling and have in the past considered a racing bike.

But this is college and my bike might be possibly stolen. What type of bike will be best for this situation and could someone point me towards some brands?

Answer
As I did for myself, kids, and nieces over the years, go garage sailing or garbage picking. Find something in reasonable working order, all the better if if it doesn't look like much. Flashy is bad if you don't want to attract the eye of the local ne'er-do-wells. Put some time (clean running gear, repack bearings) and a few bucks into parts (new tires, tubes, maybe a chain) to make sure its going to be reliable.

Speed is irrelevant for getting around campus. An MTB, or something heavy duty is better. Knobby tires don't flat as easily as your lighter weight touring and racing tires.
