Buy a Paratrooper with an Octagon stem

E-mail Print PDF

Wouldn't it be great if you could instantly adjust the height of your handlebars on your mountain bike - without fuss or tools? You can - with a factory modified Montague Paratrooper purchased from RideTHISbike!

Just think. You're pedaling along enjoying the fresh air and your neck, back or arms start getting sore (or your hands go numb). Where's the fun in that, especially if it's avoidable simply by raising the handlebars? This is precisely why Montague invented the Octagon tool-free handlebar height adjust system.

Normally, Montague only builds their mountain bikes (such as the Paratrooper folding bike) with a non-adjustable Ahead style stem because the bikes were initially spec'd for military use over terrain like slickrock, boulders and the like. In reality, more cyclists are buying Paratroopers to use on street, dirt or on non-paved rail trails, all situations where cyclists CAN benefit from handlebars which can be adjusted up or down based on whether you're fighting a head wind or aches and pains.

Normally, the cost to buy your Paratrooper folding bike from RideTHISbike with the Octagon system factory equipped by Montague is just $929; however, to draw attention to this great combination, for a limited time, get your Paratrooper with Octagon for just $899!

To take advantage of this special, either call in your order at 504-324-2492 or place your order online and note in the "comments" that you want the $899 Octagon special.

Miami Valley, Ohio Cycling Trails

E-mail Print PDF

Last week, I tweeted about an extension of the Miami Valley trail system near Milford, OH (@RideTHISbike: Urbana,OH: Construction of 16-mile bike trail extension to start in Spring and cost @ $800k http://ht.ly/ikWGu).

This week, RideTHISbike reader Thomas K. suggested I write more about the trail system. As I have yet to personally ride these trails, I thought it best to quote him here.

Regarding the webpage http://www.ridethisbike.com/great_bikeways_worldwide.htm, in Ohio, you should add the bicycle system around Dayton OH that includes over 330 miles of interconnected trails that reach from Troy (north), Springfield (northeast), Chillicothe (east), Milford (southeast), Franklin (south), and Darke county (northwest). Primary developer is the MVRPC (Miami Valley Regional Plannig Commission) and primary caretaker is Five Rivers Metroparks.

See

http://www.metroparks.org/GetOutside/RegionalTrails.aspx

If any other readers have the opportunity to ride on these trails, I welcome your feedback too and will be happy to post that here as well.
