Yesterday I got my first taste of a carbon fiber road bike and I am absolutely in love. The moment I got on it I could tell how much SMOOTHER and quick it is compared to my aluminum steed. Components were all top of the line. It was a Madone 6.2 so I really got spoiled! Took me a while to learn the duotap shifting but once I got a hang of it, it was really fun. To bad it was only a rental.
A portion of my ride was through the Minuteman Trail. According to Wikipedia:
The Minuteman Bikeway is a 10-mil paved multi-use rail trail located in the Greater Boston area of Massachusetts.
The path comprising the current Minuteman Bikeway has a long history. The trail closely approximates the route that Paul Revere took on his famous ride in 1775, which heralded the beginning of the American Revolution.

Boston has a great bike culture. Car drivers are patient and respectful. Didn’t give me a hard time at all.
