[RBW] on spreading the joy of Rivs...
I seem to recall a post on this list that said the best way to sell (or advertise) Riv was to let someone ride your Riv. Well, I was riding with a friend who hadn't biked in a year, and she was getting faint on her Jamis commuter so we stopped and then got some coffee. On the way back, she comments about how pretty my QB is, and since she's slightly taller than me, I figure she can ride my bike without having me readjust the saddle size. I nearly didn't get my QB back. :) She was surprised by how stable the QB was (it was a bit lighter and had skinnier tires than hers) and rode it again and again and "just one more time around the parking lot? please?" Seriously, though, it was fun watching someone discover the joys of a Riv bike for the first time. It's like a lightbulbs/fireworks/amazeballs moment. So would it be risky if I told her she could ride the QB while I rode AHH next time we go biking? (I would point her to the Riv site first, naturally...) -E. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] on spreading the joy of Rivs...
I was just out riding today with about a dozen girlfriends. They mostly had hybrid type bikes and most were occasional riders. It was pretty cool because Erin had her big 60 Cheviot and I had my little 46 Appaloosa which meant anyone just about could take a Riv for a spin! Long chainstays and boscos like nothing they'd ever seen much less ridden. Big smiles and comments like, "I never knew a bike could be so comfortable!" The Cheviot (or, as we've come to call her, "the Big Girl") was quite a hit. We tried to interest a few in a Clem/Clementine. It was great fun. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
