  1. I have had a Mountain Bike all my life and I would like to upgrade to a Road
    Bike.
    My question is, do Bike Shops let you take a demo bike ? for a good ride.
    I mean I don't want to ride around the block.
    I want to ride it for a 50k ride so that I can get the feel if I will like
    the new setup as compared to my MTB, like will I get a sore back ect ect.
    Do they let you do it ?

    kind regards,
    Albert

  2. They probably might let you take it for a good decent ride if you give them
    your credit card number....so, if in the event of an accident or vandalism
    or theft, they can charge you either for the cost of the bike or perhaps the
    repairs but i'd dare say it to be the cost of the bike.
    The old "you prang it, you buy it" system

    Q: What's the second most annoying thing on Usenet?
    A: People who don't read the whole thread and exactly repeat what the
    previous poster has just written,

    You are wrongly assuming that every post has propagated to every server at
    the time of posting. That is never a safe assumption on Usenet.
