    1. I have a Giant Allegre road bike and an Avanti Montari mountain bike
    2. Another Giant - they are good value
    3. I don't know, probably something that you could pick up and spin on your palm like a basketball would be good.
    4. The Allegre is the best bike I've ever owned.

    Fair Nuff all bikes count. I prefer to out accelerate the 4 wheel beast whose drivers ignore any bikes. Especially the ones who pull out on you when banked over in a roundabout and expect you to brake.
