My wife and I try to stay in real good shape. Unfortunately my knees are in pretty rough shape so I can't run. The only cardio I really get is from an occasional hockey game. I needed something fun to do to get some extra cardio.
We bought a couple Giants today. Nothing crazy but they seem like pretty nice bikes.
I have always liked the dirt jump bikes so I bought this.
Giant STP Dirt Jumper.

Got this one for my wife. We almost got the one below this one but it didnt have disc brakes. I thought they were cool, so we jumped up to this model.
Giant Yukon.

Nice rides John. I was just out last weekend looking at some Mt bikes, how much did you spend on each?

nice looking bike but I hope you are not planing on very long rides. Those DJ bikes are what they are. Can get pretty cramped on longer rides.
Anyway, here's my fat ass.

Thanks Craig.
The shop gave us a real good deal.
I got mine for 750.00. Retail was 850.00. My wifes was 470. and he gave it to us for 423.00.
I cant believe how expensive bikes have gotten. There are mtn and road bikes for 6 grand.
Hope things are well. Have a great Christmas.
