I love my bike. It is a mountain bike that I have modified a bit with different handlebars because the other ones hurt my back because they were so far. I have been riding it at least 1/2 hour a day, which is the first time I have ever exercised consistently because I enjoy it.
I still don't like inclines but I make myself take at least one a day so that I can get used to them. It hasn't gotten any easier yet but I am experiementing with different gears to see what works best.
I just put on a wireless computer that tells you all kinds of things like distance and speed and calories burned and fat burned. It was depressing when I got home from my 30 minute ride and found that I only burned like 90 calories but that isn't really the point. I am trying to get more fit and active.
I am glad you enjoy your bikes. I don't know what I am going to do when the weather prohibits me riding. I am thinking about getting one of those stationary things so I can ride it indoors.

My DH and I got our bikes out yesterday for the first time in 2 months. We hit the trail after work as the evening was cooling off. Cooling off means out of the 100's. Thank goodness I invested in a camelback and had water immediately accessible.
It was a great ride. Unfortunately, I had a chain malfunction at the end of my ride and ended up pushing my bike the last quarter mile to our vehicle. At least it happened in the last quarter mile and not the first quarter mile.
