My New Hybrid Bike: The Trek 7.2 FX!
I'm the happy owner of a new Trek 7.2 FX hybrid bike! I still love my Brompton foldie, but I've been itching for something with a little more oomph that I can take on longer bike rides across the bridge to Sausalito or for other short country rides. Part of the challenge was finding a…
