Please pass the Salsa!


I know… I know… Everyone hates senseless product plugs but I promise this is not one of those! Promise!

After seeing them around, selling a couple, and now riding one I have to say the Salsa Chilli Con Crosso is hands down my favorite cross bike out there! I am/was a skeptic right off the bat! Not just of the salsa but all cross bikes. I have ridden many and have found most of them…well… wanting.

I must admit that I am not a cross racer but more of a cross commuter/ wish they made a road bike that I could ride on a BMX track. I love to dive into dirt corners… boost curbs… and run over stuff all in the comfort of drop bars. Crazy I know but sadly it is true! This bike makes all of this possible and more…not to mention it is cool green!

Once you jump on and hit the gas you will smile. A few pedal strokes later you will find yourself in a full on giggle! This rig sails it soars and nothing is more fun than trucking by someone on their full suspension craziness while you are in your drops….

Trust me if fun is what you are after this is the bike for you and yours!

I am back again with more potential purchasing suggestions. Lights again. But not hokey spokes - something more practical - Reelights.

Hiawatha Cyclery sells them, but I always try to see what the locals have, or is willing to try, before I go to another location.

Demos of the lights are on YouTube and more info can be had by googling them, but basically they are a generator lighting system that are activated through magnets.
