Now, 50 seems long. Your distance of 10kms from home is a distance which you should be able to do in about 2-3 months after your start biking. <br /><br />A hybrid and a 4300 have very different characteristics. A hybrid lets you go longer distances with lesser effort. Its great for the tarmac. The 4300 on the other hand can be abused on speed breakers and potholes. But you need to put in more effort to move compared to a hybrid. It all boils down to your primary use of the cycle. Try both first hand before buying. Good luck.Vidhyashankar Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708735198184520115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33530336.post-77088411630431310282012-07-07T08:20:23.122+05:302012-07-07T08:20:23.122+05:30Hi What do you mean by long distance.

Doing that uphill in subzero temperatures must have been quite a challenge. Krish and I are in touch. Do keep posting. I enjoy reading your adventure ride posts.Vidhyashankar Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708735198184520115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33530336.post-5874135025296903042011-11-01T10:38:18.523+05:302011-11-01T10:38:18.523+05:30Excellent balanced review Shankar!

It's been three years since I started commuting as well. I remember interacting via email with you in those initial days. You were also a neighbor of Krish(TBA)if I remember correctly. Keep going. :)Venkyhttp://www.govenkygo.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33530336.post-37156465400905038042011-10-13T17:12:03.398+05:302011-10-13T17:12:03.398+05:30More than the bike in itself, which seems to be a ...More than the bike in itself, which seems to be a legend, I respect the sheer persistence and stamina you show all these years for something you love so much doing...Sincere hats off...May your aerodynamics skills fail the gravitational constant, studied long back in Physics textbooksAzureLearninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17304408845024983361noreply@blogger.com
