Last July, I relocated to a different part of the city, where my wife grew up. As a result, there are numerous spots that she and her family are familiar with, but I’ve yet to explore. So, I decided it was time to rediscover my surroundings and get to know this new area. And what better way to do that than on a bicycle?
The Journey to Find the Perfect Bike
On Saturday, my wife and I visited a large retail bicycle shop to find a suitable ride for my explorations. I wanted something more reliable than my old Peugeot race bike, but still sporty enough to complement my preferred way of traveling. Initially, I was considering a mountain or gravel bike. However, a former colleague who happened to work at the store recommended an urban bike instead.
After taking my colleague’s advice, I opted for the CXS 800 from Bicycles. So far, it’s been a simple yet fantastic bike that meets my needs. For those interested, here’s a link to the German store where I purchased it: https://boc24.de/products/bicycles-cxs-802?variant=43549592027401.
Once I’ve clocked my first 1,000 kilometers on the CXS 800, I’ll share a short review detailing my experience and how well the bike has served me. Stay tuned for more updates on my adventures in the new neighborhood!
