I will be in Reno for the next two\u00a0weeks\u00a0exploring\u00a0that city so cyclists can better understand why we have made it one of the\u00a0\u00a019 NBG Biking Cities<\/strong><\/a> that connect\u00a0San Francisco to Washington DC. In many ways like what the Fodor’s Travel Guide people do, I will be taking a hard look at Reno. Only I will be doing so \u00a0from a cyclist’s perspective. My research will focus on where to ride, eat, sleep, shop, play and recreate as based from a bicycle seat.<\/p>\n

The bike I am riding is a phenomenal recumbent made by a long-time friend who never quite got the machine marketed properly. \u00a0Called Advanta, its inventor, Clive Buckler, packed a ton of engineering into a bike that does a lot of things a bike needs to do. And as an added bonus, the bike is surprisingly\u00a0fast.<\/p>\n

I just got the bike fro FedEx today. Built it and rode it a comfortable and \u00a0fun 15 or so miles. During that time, a guy on his road bike flew by me as I was starting up at an intersection. His calves were bulging. I \u00a0started shifting \u00a0gears. In all of a hundred yards I had reeled him in. He was startled. He told me he was surprised how fast the bike was. We chatted for a bit and he had to\u00a0make\u00a0his turn.<\/p>\n

I will keep you posted on this fun bike and my maneuverings in Reno!<\/p>\n
