I have had 7 bikes since I was a teenager. My first bike was a Mongoose hybrid, my dad got it for me for our boy scout merit badge bike outings. I had that until I was around 27 or 28, when I moved to Maine and had a Trek 1000. I rode this over icy roads and nice summer city days in Portland, Maine to get around for work and leisure. Right before Covid I decided to get back into it and got a Trek 1400 (I think?) and put some good miles on it before upgrading to a Canyon endurace. That one I put over 5,000 miles on the first year I had it, and got into bike racing. Since then I've had a Canyon Aeroad, a specialized aethos and a Winspace SLC5 (last two are my current bikes). The winspace I decided to try chain waxing and to my delight its awesome.
