I’ve been riding my new bike for about two months now. I bought the Trek 7.4 FX 2014 version and it’s been a brilliant ride. I’ve prepared a review of the features of the bike that you can read from the link below.
Over the last two days I have been experimenting different features of WordPress.com and come up with a list of pros and cons from the perspective from someone new to blogging.
Pros

Learning to code CSS seems to defeat the purpose of WordPress.com being a platform where you can concentrate on the content and appearance rather than the technicals!
I eventually found a theme that gives me a wider width I was looking for so I am going to give WordPress.com another go by adding more content and see how the menu interacts.
Wider tires just as fast, but safer and more comfortable!
How wide a tire is too wide for optimum performance? Our research shows that wider tires don’t give up anything on smooth roads, and gain a significant advantage on rough roads. This has been shown for tires up to 31 mm wide.
It’s now a well-established fact that wider tires roll faster than narrow ones. Professional racers now use 25 mm tires, which are 20% wider than the tires that most racers used just 20 years ago. Will this trend continue? Can we expect racers to be on 30 mm tires in the future? No matter what the pros do – they are influenced by many factors that have little to do with science – the real question is: Up to what point are wider tires faster?
It is obvious that the tires in the photo above will not roll very fast. Clearly, at some point, the performance benefits of…

I bought the Trek 7.4 FX 2014 version in October 2014. As it turned out, after July is a good time to buy a new bike as the manufacturers are starting to roll out next year’s models, so you can most likely get the current year’s bikes at a discount.
