One of my absolute favorite bikes that Trek makes is the one that a lot of people don't talk about. It's got 0 grams of carbon fiber. It's wind tunnel numbers are absolutely horrible. It's the aboslute most fun you can have on two wheels. Our cruiser line represents everything that i love about summer. When you live in Wisco, trust me, you earn your summer. When the mercury starts to creep on up to above 55 on a consistant basis, you know it's time to break out the bermudas and Ray Bans. Lemonade. Fresh cut grass. Dippin' low and slow. Sandals. Can I preach on sandals for a second? Most versatile footwear available. I'm like the Carrie Bradshaw of sandals. I've got formal flips and casual flops. That's why I was stoked to see the Trek Calypso (Women's Ecru Pearl) grace the most recent Havaiana's ad in this month's Vogue. Get yourself a pair of Havaianas. They will make you smile. If you don't believe me, take our Cruiser Classic for a spin in your new kicks. If you're still not smiling, well, there's not much else I can do for you.
Yeah, I read Vogue and know who Carrie Bradshaw is. Deal with it.

Creedence did a cover of "Jeremiah was a Bullfrog?" Wow, I wonder how Three Dog Night felt about that?
How about "It Must Be Summer" by Fountains of Wayne?
