the hyda bike is way super rad and I love riding her..currently Brooks is in control of her since I now live in dominica, in the caribbean, and she's way too heavy to bring down here from CA (im guessing 40+ lbs., p.s. THANKS BROOKS! I hope you love her as much as I do...I got the bike when a neighbor moved out and left it in the backyard all covered in vines and filth...I changed out the handlebars, seat, pedals, wheels, tires, and took off the chainguard..everything else is just as I found it...I rode this bike in several midnight ridazz and critical mass rides and can go quite fast...the hills and the lots of peddling tend to catch up on you really quick tho, but hey this bike fits in your trunk, backseat, etc...The headbadge is from a Nori container (sushi seaweed) and the seat tube has the nutrition facts... Viva La Hyda Bike!
