I realized that back in March when I posted looking for feedback about whether to just go ahead and get myself “too much bike” because of the great deal on the 2XS Ultimate 7 CL from the outlet, I never actually posted my NBD photo! (I got it, put it together, then didn’t get out on it for almost a month due to cruddy weather and general scheduling snafus.)
Anyway, my 2021 Roadlite 5 was stolen from the bike rack at my office a couple of weeks ago 😭 and I’ve been having Feelings about it. I had actually thought that morning, while riding in, “I love this bike. My Ultimate is great and all, but this bike is my favorite.” This has led to me side-eying my Ultimate as if to say, “WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE, I DON’T EVEN LIKE YOU!” So, needless to say, I needed some QT with this baby in the form of a nice long ride Sunday. 🥰
(Yes, theft has been reported and yes there are cameras, AND I have a bike I can use as a commuter in the meantime. I remain hopeful for recovery, though realistic. The worst is that I can’t replace it even if I wanted to since it’s discontinued in the US.)
