I do a bit of commuter cycling and mucking around in the bush in my own time, but I do most of my cycling these days as a public safety cyclist.
My bike(s) - '98 Giant Rincon SE. Old, not brilliant but got 2 of them at the right price (ex St John Ambulance cycle response team) Would love to get a decent bike but I flog the crap out of this one and I can't say it has let me down yet. If it did I always have another one. ![]() ![]() Out of interest, the new responder cycles are Trek 6500s. I find that the frame flexes a lot more than the old Giants and I wonder whether they will last nearly as long... Admittedly though, we do put 20kg of gear on them and ride up and down stairs... ![]() The disc brakes and better suspension on the new bikes is a welcome advance though. ![]()

I just picked up my new Trek Ex8 on Monday after wearing out my previous Trek hard tail. So far I have done 200km in 2 days and absolutely love it. For a dual suspension it flies on the road and I made a couple of road bikes embarrassed when I went past making heaps of noise with the knobblies.
