During the past 25 years we have received our fair share of cycling honors - top ten in America, Best of Philadelphia's Main Line, numerous top 100, etc. But, the most important honors are those unsolicited letters and emails that we receive after a job well done.

If you would like to add your encouragement to our list, please email us: support@bikyle.com

Greg E. from Pa, 3/07: The Pinarello Angliru exceeded my expectations of the ride quality. I rode it the weekend before last and it just delighted me. It is a real beauty to look at and handles very smoothly. The fit Kyle gave me gets me behind the pedals to get some real leverage. I am very happy that I bought the Angliru and very happy I purchased from you all. I have and will continue to recommend your shop.

Dave A. from Pa, 3/07: I have about 75 miles on the Pegoretti [Duende] so I believe I have a legitimate basis for formulating an opinion of it (other than it looks really nice.) The bike rides like a dream; it seems to do everything well. It is clearly a more than worthy replacement for my late Colnago. My biggest concern with this bike is that I wonder how much exercise I am actually getting when I am riding it since it is simply faster than anything I have owned previously!  Overall I would have to say this bike exceeded my expectations, which were pretty high given what I knew about Pegoretti’s reputation. The next time you communicate with Dario, please express my appreciation. (I’ll defer to you here, because your Italian is better than mine!)  

Irene S. from NJ, 02/07:  This is why I love working with you, Kyle. You listen and decipher where a rider wants to go! Thank you.

Dave F. from Va, 02/07: The Mondonico is a WONDERFUL BICYCLE! Too cold and damp here to ride now but I was able to get in about 350 miles during early January using the Torelli I purchased from you. I'll wait till late April to get back on the Mondonico. The M is really a wonderful, smooth ride. When I first rode it, I jokingly thought to myself, "Gee, I hope I don't fall asleep while riding it!" And, it *FITS REAL WELL.* Bottom line: I would gladly buy the Mondonico again. Rode across USA this past June/July - Portland, OR. to VA. Used the Merlin you built for me because of it's strength. Plan to ride from Vancouver, B.C.to Buffalo, N.Y. this June/July.

Ted C. from Ca, 12/06: The [Guerciotti] frame got to my house in perfect shape. Thanks for packing it so carefully!!! It looks fabulous. I'll shoot you guys some digital pix after I build it up next week. You guys have been great!

Vicki A. from Tx, 12/06: I rode 25 miles last night – [Merckx Team SC] feels amazing. Responsive, I can feel the road, but it doesn’t beat me up. Wow. Corners like a champ, sprints like, well, something is on fire SOMEWHERE! And the no-hands stability is good. ….I am floating on air…. Thanks, Vicki

Peter B. from NY, 11/06:  I received the bike last week and it is awesome. I really appreciate you working with me on this. Thank you.

Bern B. from Australia, 10/06: I got the bike today – it’s fantastic!!.

Gavin K. from Pa, 9/06: I just wanted to let you know that Ryan loves his bike. He is doing great and rides every chance he gets! We even rode in the LiveStrong Challenge ride last weekend. He raised over $2300 in just 2 weeks and rode the 10 mile ride with just one stop.  Attached is a picture of him on his bike that I thought you might get a kick out of. Thanks for taking such good care of him!

Kim K. from Korea, 8/06: I really appreciate your perfect and skillful job for my Rocky Mtn [ETSX] bike. It works more wonderfully and smoothly than I expected. Nowadays, I am riding it with happiness and with full satisfaction. Thank you for your excellent job and highly sophisticated technique for my bike. Good luck to Cycles BiKyle.

Irene S. from NY, 8/06: When I pulled up to the ride I still had both bikes in my truck but with all intentions of riding the Cannondale since I was used to it. Of course I unloaded the Cervelo and off I went figuring I had 62 miles to "test ride" my new bike. It didn't take long to feel at home on the bike and I had an awesome ride. The bike got a lot of attention and so I did pump your shop! Thank you and your staff. You have a great place and I enjoyed my time there.

Guy H. from Pa, 7/06: The Merlin is great so far! Amazing to me how it can be fit that well without being on the bike before!!

Suzanne R. from De, 7/06:  Bike [Opera Leonardo] is great!! As beautiful as I imagined. Fits like a glove. I can climb the steepest hills I can find in Chester County, no problem. It would be nice if the rider was in better shape!

Gordon C. from NJ, 7/06: Thanks for a great fit and an excellent bike [Cervelo Soloist Carbon]. May the road you ride always be A Great One!

Brian C. from Mi, 5/06: I put 31 miles on [my new custom BiKyle-Franklin] this morning, and even though you are probably thinking that 31 miles is not so much, I could barely get 22 on the old bike and I was dying. I was a little tired and had a little saddle soreness but no neck pain and no numbness in my hands and wrists. I love this bike a little more each time I get out on it! I was nervous before I got the bike that all the expectations would fall short, but actually it is even better than I had thought, and seems to get better the more I ride it - just like you need to break in a good pair of shoes.

Dan B. from Il, 05/06: Just wanted to say that I'm very happy with the Bianchi Axis that I purchased from BiKyle a few months back. The transaction was smooth enough that I'm looking toward you guys for my next purchase [a Rocky Mtn mountain bike].

Bob F. from MD, 5/06: Friday, I picked up my Mondonico Monza from your shop. First, it is beautiful! Second, the ride is better than it looks! Today, I had it out for its maiden ride and it was a pleasure. I must say that the most noticeable difference was the way my back felt after ~ 40 miles. Usually it is a given that I experience lower back discomfort and some numbing of the skin on lower back.  Today, none of that was experienced.  I attribute all of this to your fitting prowess. Thank You.

Andy N. from Tn, 4/06: I bought my Pinarello Prince with Campy Chorus from you 3 or 4 years ago. It has been great...really great...it's a tremendous machine and I have recommended you to many people. Thanks.

Alyssa S. from Va, 4/06: I'm out & riding! What a great bike [Rocky Mountain RC-30]. Fits perfectly & easy to zip around on. .... The bike was beautifully packaged. A young woman stopped me to ask about the bike & the pedals with envy. Thanks!

John R. from NJ, 4/06: A long overdue thanks for the great new Merlin mountain bike you built up for me. While a bit of a wait for the RLT fork, it was well worth it and the bike is exactly what I was looking for – a responsive, very nice handling mountain bike at home on trails in the area as well as some of the really rough back roads. I’m really enjoying it and continue to appreciate the great bikes and help I’ve gotten from your great shop over the years. 

Heather M. from Australia, 4/06: Yes, I got the [Bianchi EV-4] frame. It's all set up and now we are just fine tuning to get the perfect riding position. The frame was for my husband and he likes it a lot. 

Tony A. from Australia, 4/06: I had an ordinary Leach triathlon bike before and I was struggling with the guys I ride with regularly. The first time I tried the Bianchi EV2 with the group I won the sprint race we have at the end of the ride. I couldn't even come close before I got this bike!

From Pat S. from Pa, 3/06: A short note to say thanks very much for the "most excellent" experience that I had during the entire bike purchasing process - fitting, setup and delivery of my Cervelo Soloist. Aside from the fact that the bike is great (pretty much a given), the main reason for my note is to let you know how much I enjoyed my overall customer experience; you guys made me feel like a real pro right out of the gate. From the moment I met with Kyle for my initial fitting, to the bike delivery and setup, I immediately realized that you guys get it - you truly understand what it means to get and keep a customer. By doing the small things right, you got me!

Mike T. from Ca, 3/06: I took my first real ride on the [Van Dessel] Country Bob yesterday, riding 42 miles with a 15t track cog. I felt very comfortable cruising along a 20 mph and when wanted to push it higher it was not a problem. Thanks.

John C. from Tn, 2/06: The [Guerciotti] EM2 performed well for the last race of the Knoxicross series. Managed an hour recovery ride today with the cold winds. Thank you again for your help putting this bike together. It is a joy to ride.

Ernie P. from Fl, 2/06: Bike arrived [Merlin XL Mtn XTR] but my legs are aching from riding all night...lol! Thanks again for the very nice build.

Eileen B. from NJ, 12/05: Just writing to thank you for being SO helpful! I am very impressed with your attention to detail!

Leigh G. from Australia, 11/05: My Merlin Oreas arrived safely in Australia, due in no small way to the care with which it was packed by your team. It's all assembled now and I've been on a few test rides and wanted to tell you that I couldn't be happier with it. I know it isn't really a cycling term, but its outstanding quality to me is how well balanced the bike seems when riding. And even with its off-road tyres, it tracks and steers very precisely, which must be at least partly due to the care with which it was built. ...Purchasing a bike from BiKyle was a wonderful experience and I wish you and your team all the very best for the future.

Ed C. from NY, 11/05: Wow !!!!! This bike [Pinarello F4:13] is smooth, quiet and quick.... Also, the 20 speeds are a lot more gears than I am used to!

Bob R. from Mo, 11/05: I'm VERY impressed with the fit you did for me on this [Mondonico] frame. The positioning you were trying to coax me into back in June literally falls into place. My knees have never felt such a lack of stress...I am just so pleased that I have a ride that makes my back, knees & other joints actually feel better after riding rather than the reverse. You've managed to do what no chiropractor or orthopedist has been able to do for me! Thanks again.

Jeff B. from Wa, 10/05: Got the [VDO] computer, set it up: no problems whatsoever (except the print in the manual is a little small for my old eyes)! I think it is just great. Thanks for the excellent customer service.

Brian M. from Maine, 10/05: This is the third time that I have ridden the Mondonico and I am very happy with it. It handles the bumps much smoothly than my Dxxx Ti bicycle did. I am very comfortable on the bike which I was very surprised due to the bike being a 62 cm. I am very impressed with the Campy Groupo and the rest of the components.

Steven D. from DC, 9/05: I bought a custom Mondonico frame a while back. It rides super sweet, I love the bike....Tell Kyle the bike is Phenomenal. Love every ride, thanks.

Julius P. from Ca, 9/05: Team Cycles BiKyle: I must say, what I've read in the [bike forums] about your customer service being top-notch is very true. Thanks for the wonderful experience knowing that customer service is alive and well over the worldwide-web at bikyle.com. I'll be back to order more stuff later. Meanwhile, keep up the excellent work.

Tom F. from Pa, 9/05: I am following up after my purchase of the Merlin Extralight in the Spring. The bike is fantastic! ...Thanks for a great bike!

Terrance M. from Az, 9/05: Simple questions asked to other shops usually return late with the most bland answers ever. You guys rock over there, keep it up! So, I say, send that [Bianchi] Pista out with love! Thanks, Terrence

Celeste B. from Ca, 8/05: Thanks much - I'm so in love with the Vittoria road shoes I purchased from you guys. I'm definitely going to continue to patronize your website!

Lisa V. from Ma, 8/05: I wanted to thank you again for your help with my wonderful new Cervelo [P2-K]. The measuring for a retrofit obviously worked so well, in part, because my LeMond doesn't fit me all that well. I will continue to work on making the recommended changes to it, as I will continue to use that bike for certain riding conditions (e.g. if I go to Italy again with the MLC folks). And as much as I've enjoyed my LeMond (it has been a good bike), I LOVE my new Cervelo. I drove over to Valley Forge Park yesterday to pick up the bike trail and work on my aerobars. As I took my new bike out of my car, even though there was no one around to see me, I was so proud to pull that bike out of my car! It is beautiful, and I am so appreciative of your help in making it happen....Thank you very much, and thanks also to the guys in the "back" who made it happen. I love your shop, and will wear my BiKyle clothing with pride, feeling a connection to your great shop. The bike feels great! Thanks again.

Bill S. from Pa, 8/05: Thanks to everyone at BiKyle for making my purchasing experience an enjoyable one. My [Pinarello] F4:13 is an incredible ride and just as beautiful. Build quality was superb. Look forward to future transactions. Thanks again.

Brent L. from Australia, 8/05: Guys just wanted to say thank you for your speedy and personal service! I will order from you again in the future.

Brandon Z. from Tx, 7/05: I just wanted to thank you for the great setup on the bike [Cervelo R2.5]. The fit is perfect and I am extremely comfortable on the bike. I am already setting personal best times on many of my rides with my new and improved pedal stroke. My wife is looking to start road riding so you could be hearing from me soon on putting something together for her. Thanks again - love the bike!

Mark L. from Fl, 6/05: My Bianchi-Liquigas frame arrived last night in fine shape. It really is an extremely nice looking frame. Can't wait to get it built up and go for a ride!

Harry K from NY, 06/05: Just received the Bianchi Pista Concept and Assos FI-13. Great stuff and excellent packing. Thanks very much!

Laura M. from Vt, 06/05: You really are terrific! Your kindness, ease to deal with, and prompt and courteous customer service will be relayed to my friends and fellow bikers at an upcoming charity ride this weekend. I know they will appreciate learning about a company with practices such as yours. It will be a pleasure to spread a good & happy word!

Joel B. from Pa, 5/05: The [Torelli] Stiletto is great! Had an excellent race weekend last weekend. Really fast machine, great position.

Sam C. from Mo, 5/05: The bike [Bianchi Pista Concept] arrived yesterday and is outstanding. It was a great ride into work this morning. The shipping box ranks as one of the classiest deliveries I've ever had the pleasure to receive. And all of you over at BiKyle were terrific to work with. You can take my money any day!

Dave Y. from Pa, 5/05: Thanks for the great job you did with my Pinarello Galileo back in March. It fits my body amazingly and feels great to ride.

Mark L. from Fl, 5/05: I bought a Bianchi SL-Alloy Lite frame from you a couple of years ago. I finally completed building it up last summer and it rides great!

Andy N. from Tn, 5/05: I bought a Pinarello Prince from you 2 or 3 years ago...that's a great bike, and a great fit. Thanks.

Chris H. from Md, 5/05: Just wanted to let you know that I have received the bike [Kona Caldera]...Thanks again for such an easy transaction and a great product.

Dave P. from NY, 3/05:  I would like to say thank you for getting my bike together by Saturday, so that I could pick it up. I really appreciate the extra mile everyone went for me, especially since I'm new to your shop and not a regular customer...Thanks again for all you guys have done for me.

Lana B. from Ma, 12/04: You guys are amazing! I got the package early this morning. Thanks for everything. 

Mollie F. from Pa, 12/04: Just wanted to send you a quick note to tell you how much I'm enjoying this bike [Bianchi 928]!! It fits like a glove -- I especially appreciate the handlebar width - huge improvement over what I was riding before! [My] back-up bike was way too big for me, but this one is quick, responsive, and really comfortable to ride. Thanks for all of your help.

Rol H. from Ma, 11/04: Thanks folks, I received the order at 6pm Monday evening. Great service and customer care.

Cathy W. from Fl, 11/04: A friend helped me put the Jake together and I appreciate the markings with tape for my measurements. As for the ride, I rode it ten miles yesterday and sixteen today. Wow, what a difference from my Schwinn "grandma"! Such a sweet ride, I love it. I am definitely hooked and will be back again I am sure. Plus I have referred your place to some friends... If you ever need reviews, I will definitely be happy to continue to share my happiness with the way you do business and treat your customers. You guys are the greatest.

Matt P. from Ca, 10/04: The Cervelo R2.5 arrived, I opened it, it is amazing! Perfect condition by the way, not a scratch (not that I would have cared much). Anyway, thanks for the help, I will forward a pic when built. Take care.

Chad online, 9/04: I wish I lived near your store. Your prompt and thorough attention and service makes my LBS look pitiful.

Friedrich S. from Austria, 9/04: Now I know why they rate BiKyle one of the ten best bicycle shops in America! Thank you.

Zane M. from Pa, 7/04: Hi Kyle & Co, The Cervelo Dual you recently built up for me is awesome!   ... I know that bad habits die hard and I appreciate the time and effort you have shown in helping me break mine. Thanks Again . 

Suzanne S. from NJ, 7/04: I wanted to drop you an email with some feedback after my retrofit back on June 10. Thanks to your adjustments to my bike I know look forward to my rides as I train for the half-iron! The new seat and adjusted seat height made it feel like I am riding on a cloud compared to the old one.

Tom P. from Pa, 7/04: The Torelli I bought from you is awesome and it fits incredibly. That is why I am buying my next bike and probably all future bikes there!

Frank M. from Ca, 7/04: I just wanted to say thanks and wow, the [custom] Pinarello Dogma looks amazing!

Ted B. from In, 6/04: Wanted to say how pleased I am with the [Pegoretti] CCKMP. A little over 2500 miles on it, so I believe its broken in now. I don't believe there could be a more comfortable ride. If there is I don't want to know!

Fred D. from Ca, 6/04: The Dura Ace bar ends arrived today and in fine shape. I just want to express my thanks for all your help and to Bikyle for having such GREAT employees that care not only about their customers, but representing Bikyle as the right choice in making a biking purchase. Kudos to you guys!! You haven't heard the last from me yet, I still have biking needs and Bikyle will be one of my stops!! Thanks again, it's been my pleasure to have done business with you!! Be well, ride safe!!

Alain C from Ma, 6/04: Dear Bill, I saw on your [Torelli] website that you are now representing Guerciotti. Any idea when you'll have more information on their cyclocross bikes on the website? I recently bought a Mondonico Monza through BiKyle and it is a marvelous bike. Beautiful to look at and rides smooth as silk. Great bike. Best regards - Alain

Jacob H. from Pa, 6/04: I just wanted to send out a thank you to you guys [T3 Triathlon Racing Team] for suggesting Cycles Bikyle for a great bike. I went to numerous bike shops around the area looking for a new bike to fit  me good enough that I wouldn't be so fatigued for the runs after a long bike. It seemed that every bike shop only took one measurement, the one to determine the frame size, then it was time to talk about anything and everything to get  me to walk out of the store with a bike. Kyle was about getting to know my wife and me for the first 15-20 minutes before talking business. The numerous  measurments he took to determine the proper bike and fit made me feel like I was an elite athlete and that he was there to make me the fastest and most  comfortable I have ever been on a bike. The thing I liked the most is that Kyle wasn't out there to make the most money, but is there for the athlete. He had  two bikes in my price range that he suggested to me, a Cervelo P2K or a  Quintana Roo Caliente. He took my measurments and put them into his computer and he  determined which bike was the best fitting bike for me. Even though he could  have made about 300-400 dollars more by selling me the Quintana Roo, he sold  me the Cervelo which by the way fits like a dream!! I've logged about 8 three  hour rides on it and felt great for the run after. My first race is this  Sunday, Blackwater Eagleman in Cambridge. I'm so excited about the bike leg of  the race because I know I am faster. So once again, Thank You for putting Cycles Bikyle on your website, I never would have found his shop and probably would  be riding an expensive improperly fitting bike right now. Respectfully, JH

***such a great experience on Saturday. I am totally excited about the decision to purchase the Cervelo P3 and cannot wait to get it out on the road. Your approach and expertise put me at ease completely and I already know that I made the right choice in coming to your shop! Have a great day. Thanks again.

Terry G. from Wash DC, 1/04: The [Mondonico] bike is incredible!! Tony did his usual exceptional [build] job. Thanks for all your help.

Carrie K. from NC, 1/04: I received and delivered the [Zoot Tri] bag as a gift to
one very happy person! Thanks again for your speedy and personal attention to my order! I will definitely keep you guys bookmarked! Thanks.

Jeff B. from Or, 1/04: I have now been riding and racing my pretty blue Torelli Express Carbon for about 2 years (~10,000 miles) and am extremely happy with it. Really like the steel and carbon fiber combination for comfort. And it is amazing how much better a descender I have become on it. And the Campy 10 speed parts are wonderful. Very smooth. Who would expect any less from Campy? Definitely living up to their reputation. Thanks.

Joe D. from NH, 1/04: I finally had the opportunity to ride the Pinarello Surprise bike last week (the temps finally got above 30). The ride was Awesome!! I have tremendous respect for the Bottecchias that I have – however there is no comparison. As you said – the bike seems to throw you up the road. It is a very aggressive ride. I’m riding every chance I get. It looks great too!

Rupert S. from NJ, 1/04: I got in an hour and a half on flat roads Saturday. The bike [Merckx MX Leader] works well although it may take some time to get comfortable in the new position. The [Campy] drive train is silky smooth. The frame is stiff as advertised but not uncomfortable on rough roads. The biggest difference is on short uphill sections like highway overpasses. The additional power required really seems to propel the bike forward. I'm very happy with the final product.

Alain C. from Ma, 1/04: I just want to let you know that the bike [Mondonico Monza] arrived last Friday and it is absolutely beautiful! I was even able to go riding yesterday.

William C. from Va, 12/03: I just raced the Torelli cross bike for the first time. Like, an hour ago. I rode the bike for a little while on Friday for the first time -- very mellow ride, all paved, and I was encouraged but unready to judge. Today I can say it -- I love this bike! I had a blast. Lots of compliments on the bike just from appearance (and the 'cross crowd tends to be discerning), but it was incredible to ride. I am thrilled. Thanks for the bike, thanks for the technical help, thanks for everything. I'm very pleased to have made your acquaintance (calculated understatement, of course).

H. Park from S. Korea, 12/03: I bought Cervelo cycle in 10th, Dec. Most of all, thank you for helping to stay and enjoy in there. It arrived Korea well the day before yesterday.

Mark P. from Pa, 12/03: Hey, Guys. I just wanted to let you know that the Merckx SC is a dream come true!! I rode apx 35 miles today. Yes it is only 25 degrees! I just can't tell you how happy I am with the bike. My cycling life is now complete. Thank you again for everything, you guys are truly pros.

Roger C. from Fl, 12/03: I just got the [Quintana Roo] bike and opened the box! It came through wonderfully. ...I want to thank you for putting it together and for knowing how to ship things right. I will hopefully be out riding on it tomorrow!

Troy J. from NYC, 11/03: First of all, I should start out with the fact that I love the way the  [BiKyle track] bike handles. ...Last year was my first year riding on a velodrome with a track bike, I have ridden them for years in NYC as a bike messenger. I feel this bike is a great improvement to the xxx that I rode last season.

Phillip O. from Ga, 11/03: From what I've seen up to now, you guys are really GREAT to deal with!!!!!!! I was very appreciative of your reply yesterday, and I tried to place the order online in the manner you suggested, but the web page 'timed out' in the final submission....so I called in the order and got Kyle, who was also as nice as he could be! He took the order over the phone, and I am one happy guy! THANK YOU! First class service!!!!!!!!

Marc N. from Quebec, 11/03: I receive the bike [Bianchi Axis] last week. It's very great and I had just enough time to ride a hundred km before it start snowing! Thank you.

Sandro V. from Toronto, 11/03: Got the frame today. Wow. It looks amazing. What can i say? Thoroughly impressed with your service and totally thrilled with the bike (actually thrilled doesn't begin to define...). Thank you so very much. My dream of a celeste Bianchi is being fulfilled.

Ed W. from Pa, 10/03: Frankly, I was a bit skeptical...but, the word on the street was that Kyle was the real deal. I was kinda surprised that the fitting session consisted of more measurements than a custom suit and a lot of sitting around and chatting about bicycles. More like a bicycle therapy session than a fitting session. And Kyle can talk bikes. What wonderful analogies. Kyle has a wonderful way of describing a bicycle's negative traits as if they were positive but undesired traits. That being said, Kyle was able to zero in on my REAL needs and intentions and to pick out frames that would (he claimed) fit my needs as well as fit me. What could I do but trust him? So we concluded that the Look KG386 (I had not realized the frame's pedigree prior to selecting it) would meet most of my desired traits. Frankly I picked it because the frame would meet most of my requirements and it LOOKED cool.

Kyle also sold me into Campy. ... he recommended Campy Centaur. I stepped up to Chorus. Now I never expected to be worthy of Campy. I mean Campy is only used by "real" riders. I also never understood why everyone claims that Campy is real purty. I mean geeze - it's a derailleur, how purty can it be? Once I got it home and on the Park stand I understood. ... It's a shame to ride the stuff. It belongs in MOMA.

... The ride is too smooth. It feels like someone paved the dang asphalt bike path in glass.  ... Its nimble in that I can think and go. Not point and go, think and go. ... Yer mechanics are too anal. Way too anal. Yer mechanics spend way too much care building up a bike. ... The brakes have grease on em. They are too smooth. The bike is too stealth. That's right, the screaming "team" colors are hiding something. The bike is too stealth. I can jump out and motor ahead with out having to change grip, ratchet through gears, stand up, flop the bike, and generally tell everyone that I'm gonna make a move. Instead I quietly churn away. ... Anyone need a well worn Cannondale?

Julie S. from Ont, 10/03: Thanks for the great service you gave me on Saturday (we don't have that quality of service here in Ottawa).  Have forwarded your web site to a few riding friends. I will definitely stop by next time I am in the Philly area.

Terry G. from Va, 10/03 update: I can't thank you enough for the fit on my new [Look] bike. At 45 years old, after years of marathon running, I’m finally pain free! No more knee, hip, or tendon pain. No more painkillers! Man, what a difference. I can't be emphatic enough. I'm riding more than ever and all the pain is gone! I don't want to sound hysterical but wow, this bike is such a joy! I'm now going to start commuting to work, 20 miles each way. I honestly never thought I could think of such a thing. Thank you again.

Ron L. from Pa, 10/03: I picked up the [Torelli] Spada Time Trial bike today and just got back from a ride. One comment - WHY DIDN'T YOU TALK ME INTO THIS YEARS AGO!!! It took me about 20 minutes to get the hang of the balance points but once I got comfortable in the bars man can you fly! Thanks.

Terry G. from Va, 9/03: The [Look] bike is incredible! I can't believe the difference a professional fit and a quality frame can make. Wow! Tony did a fantastic job. His workmanship was exceptional and he was always available for questions. I've only put about five miles on the bike, weather is bad. I'll let you know more when I get more miles. Thank you all.

Ed S. from Pa, 9/03: My first race with my new Cervelo Dual and I took 1st place in my age group! I am looking forward to more races on this bike. It is fast and it feels great! ....Thanks for a great fit on a great bike. It not only helped me get an excellent bike split, it really helped me on the run - my legs felt fresh right off the bike.

Frank M. from Ca, 8/03: The [custom] Pinarello Prince SL is very cool! I am happy with the frame set. Next year, maybe a Dogma! Until then, regards and thanks again.

Rick R. from NY, 8/03: Recently, while visiting friends in Bryn Mawr, I visited the shop and wanted to say a "thanks" to Sid as he helped me in buying some bibs and other misc. items and wanted to let you know I'll be back to buy more. I'm from central New York (just north of Syracuse) and there are no shops up here that compare to yours. Thanks for the great service, guys!

Dave N. from Md, 8/03: Wanted to take a few moments and add to your list of praises for the fitting, bike build, and continued support. The Merlin Extralight you put together has been terrific. It seems to somehow get better as time progresses. Had the opportunity to take it on the road this summer and successfully completed the Indiana RAIN ride, 160 miles one day, and just got back from the RAMROD in Seattle, 155 miles in one day with more climbing than I need to see again for a while. The bike performed flawlessly, and I am convinced that my comfort both during and after the ride are directly attributed to Kyle's fitting. Thanks again.

Tony V. from Pa, 8/03: Just a quick note to say I love my new bike (Bianchi Eros). I picked the bike up Saturday with a host of assorted accessories. Special thanks to Walt (indoctrination and initial training), Woody (assembled my bike), and Tony (shoes) for making my experience very meaningful and satisfying. I did manage to ride for 17 miles on Sunday. Hopefully, I will be doing quite a bit more. Thanks again.

John S. from Ca, 7/03: Received [Mondonico Futtura Nemo] yesterday in perfect order. Frameset looks really nice. Paint is really nice! I checked the alignment (not that I don't trust you guys, but shipping damage isn't always obvious to the eye). This must be the best aligned frameset I've ever bought. Looking forward to building out the complete bicycle. So far so good (no snags with the headset, BB set, and cranks/chainrings). Many thanx for a job well done.

Michael M. from Va, 07/03: The wheels arrived with no problem yesterday. They look great and I'm about to go out to test them now. Thanks for the help and for paying such close attention to detail on this order.

Gerard M. from Ont, 7/03: I would like to say that I'm very pleased with your service. I get a lot of bike stuff from mail order (local bike shops sxxk), and I'll make sure that BiKyle gets a lot of my business in the future.

Matt H. from Pa, 6/03: The new Look KG486 TT bike worked great. Only 6 of us Cat 3s broke the 18 minute mark in last Thursday’s stage one at Fitchburg. For a while I held on to 3rd position, but in the end got bumped to 5th. Had I trained a little more on that bike, and tweaked my fitting a little more, I could have shaved another 20 seconds, but that’s racing. In any case, that position kept me in 5th for the first three stages, and I wound up 10th in overall GC. Not bad for a race of Fitchburg’s caliber.

Mike D. from Ia, 6/03: OK, now I've ridden the custom Merckx MX Leader about 150 miles - 3 rides. It is confusing to me exactly how it is different in size from the standard but it sure is more stable, feels better in the drops, and sprints better than even my Team SC. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels like weight distribution is different. Cornering is better. Now if it is just materials let me know. Bottom line, I hope the design of the custom Team SC that Kyle comes up with will be this good!

Leah F. from NJ, 6/03: EVERY time Mario goes out on his bike he just won't stop talking about how great it fits, how he doesn't have neck/back/hand etc. pain, how amazing it is that absolutely no adjustments to anything were necessary, how PERFECT it is. Kind of sickening but I guess I'll understand when I get mine!  :-)

Daniel R. from Mo, 6/03: Received the Bianchi Boron frame yesterday, very, very nice frame! I'm almost done with the build. Thanks.

Ryan G. from Pa, 5/03: Thought you be interested in a racing update. The aerobars that I purchased on Thursday last week worked to perfection as Devin and I rode through the rain to a 1st place victory at the Team Time Trial this weekend! That gives our racing team over 20 podium finishes (11 victories) already this season. We are flying on the new Torelli's and look professional in the matching team kit. We are currently winning the Elite Championship Series and the Cat 3 Championship Series. We are 3rd in the Cat 4 Series, 4th in 50+ Series, and 3rd place overall team in Pennsylvania. Obviously we are off to an excellent start and are the envy of our competition. Our organized dominance would not be possible without your contributions to our team. A very small thank you for your very large support.

Cris D. from Il, 5/03: My bike [Pegoretti Fina Estampa] came in yesterday! It's great! I love it.

John R. from NY, 5/03: I picked up my Pegoretti Fina Estampa this past Saturday and couldn't be happier. The [Cinelli Ram] handlebars are great and the bike is fantastic. I want to thank you for all your help with all my various questions over the past few months. You've been most helpful and the end result is exactly what I wanted.

Leo H. from Tx, 5/03: The parts and the frame [Bianchi EV-3] showed up yesterday. The frame, she is so sweet! Thanks for taking care of my order.

Dr. Steve K. from Fl, 5/03: I had a stress test for my 54th birthday - could not get my heart rate above 120 for one hour, resting pulse in 50's, thanks to biking all these years. If Kyle did not fit me perfectly some 15 years ago, I doubt I would have kept riding - thanks!

Nino M. from Pa, 5/03: The Pinarello Prince SL is awesome. Without a doubt the nicest bike I have ever ridden. I know equipment doesn't make the rider, but hey, I've got to be at least a little bit better on that sweet thing!

Paul E. from Ma, 4/03: The footbeds showed up Friday as expected - thanks for the shipping updates. Your customer service is fantastic.

George P. from Pa, 4/03: I wanted to take a minute to tell you how much I enjoy my new Bianchi Campione. I was in Friday for my 30-day tune up. Woody was good enough to take care of it while I hung around the shop so I could get back on the road the next day. He also gave me a few riding tips. Each time out I feel more comfortable and learn a little more about the bike. I'm up to 80 miles a week - not that much by racing standards, but amazing for me. When I first started riding a hybrid a few years ago, I had gone about a half-mile before I considered calling 911 for some oxygen and a lift home. Now, seeing a hill coming after twenty miles of Chester County countryside, I just dig in, knowing I can make it to the top. I feel that I've got a bike that's well fitted to me and that I made a good choice dealing with someone with your expertise and experience. Though you deal with pro racers, you made me feel like an important customer and appreciate your advice and encouragement. A special thanks to Walt, who's been very helpful with instruction, guidance and all-around good customer service. So thanks again, and my best to the crew at BiKyle. See you over the summer.

Steve K. from Fl, 4/03: You recommended the new Assos bibs, they are superb. The best chamois ever, it disappears underneath you. Once again, you have recommended a product that is everything you say it is and more. Thanks again.

Dom S. from Pa, 4/03: I stopped by the shop on Saturday and I have my fitting appt with Kyle on Wednesday. Thanks for all of your help, your shop has been the most helpful and professional out of all of the places I checked out. It is much appreciated! Hopefully this weather will break and I can get out to the trails on my new bike.

Jason W. from NY, 04/03: Thank you. The Bianchi Pista bike arrived today and I just took it for its first spin (long day). It arrived in perfect condition and is setup perfectly. I really appreciate your help.

Lincoln R. from New Zealand, 3/03: The Merckx is safe and well and in my possession. ...In a world full of boring aluminum, this is one cool piece of lugged steel art. ...Thanks very much for all your help over the weeks. We got there!!

Paula K. from Pa, 2/03: You guys are terrific with the customer service! I will forever brag about your operation. Keep up the good work!

Melvin S. from Ha, 12/02:  Bike was packed expertly! Awesome. Great service. I know where I'm getting my next mountain bike! Thanks, again. 

Joe H. from Ca, 12/02: Thanks for your help. Even though, due to fit, the QR wetsuit purchase didn't work out, I have had a good experience overall with Cycles BiKyle - you've been very helpful from the start of my interactions with you. Thanks again, Joe

Ted F. from Singapore, 12/02: A footnote on the Rocky Mountain Oxygen - she's a dream and nice and dirty from a few trips onto singletrak, jungle style! These bikes never seem to solve the problem of the lungs in my mouth by the end of the ride thought. Thanks, this really worked out well.

Andy N. from Tn, 12/02: Got Pinarello Prince last night. Looks beautiful, was packed impeccably...not a scratch or grease blob anywhere. You all really know what you're doing. Unfortunately, it's raining like crazy right now. Had to take the bike for an initial spin through the den and hall. My wife wasn't home of course! Thanks.

Dave N. from Wi, 11/02: Thought you might want to see some pictures of the Pegoretti Luigino frameset you sold me built up with a Record 10 gruppo, Campy Record triple crankset, Eurus wheelset with Vittoria Open Corsa Evo KS, etc.  A very sweet riding bike, now that I have had it out for a few days of very happy and smooth riding.

Bob W. from Pa, 11/02: The bike [Torelli Scappa] is incredible! I put in about 70 miles this weekend with some pretty fast (c. 40 mph) downhills and a fast sprint (up to 28 mph) with a couple of guys I hooked up with. The bike handles extremely well, is really stable and is incredibly fast on the acceleration. I find myself quite comfortable on it even though I can certainly tell it's not a cushy steel frame. Can't wait to ride it when I'm not fighting gusty headwinds!

Pat J. from Oh, 11/02: The caps just arrived today. Thanks so much for your assistance and perseverance. I have to say I am completely impressed with your service. Not only was it easy to use your website initially, but you communicated with me the entire time. And just when I thought it was a done deal and I would have to look elsewhere, you came through again by taking the time to contact me! Wow! You kept me informed and stayed involved with me. Even though I wasn't even a customer ... yet. But after this experience, I am definitely going to return and definitely going to suggest your site and company to all of my teammates and training partners in the Cincy area and beyond. Keep up the GREAT work!

Andrew R. from Pa, 7/02: Since picking up my Quintana Roo Private Reserve this past Saturday I have ridden it about 150 miles, more than I have ridden in years! It's really great, what a joy to ride. I love it. Thanks again.

Neil R. from NY, 7/02: I picked up the Pegoretti Great Googoolie on Saturday and it rides terrifically. Just wanted to thank you again for your help in pulling this together...and of course, Kyle, Walter, Matt and the technicians in the back as well. Thanks again.

Ted B. from Il, 7/02: I can't thank you enough for the wonderful fit. My new Torelli Stiletto  rides like a dream. 

Scot H. from Tn, 6/02: Thank you very much. The Bianchi Pista bicycle is beautiful. It came in yesterday. I just wanted to let you know. Thanks again.

Steven K. from Tx, 6/02: I have finally gotten the Merckx Team SC built with full D/A and Campy Neutron wheels. I am very pleased with the frame and sizing. Your sizing was right on the money. Thanks again for the help with my many questions. I will definitely recommend you guys to anyone wanting to purchase a bike. The main reason I contacted you guys was for your expertise in sizing and I am very pleased with the product and service I received.

Steve B. from Pa, 6/02: I stopped into the shop and was made to feel very comfortable by Matt, Kyle, and the staff. Very helpful and supportive. And needless to say, I am extremely excited with my new goods. I was born and raised in the area (Ardmore), and lived in Bryn Mawr for a stint. And I've have been involved in multisport racing for many years. I am very aware of Kyle's reputation and consider myself very fortunate to have his support. Thanks again.

Chris M. from Pa, 5/02: Thank you again for all of your time and help when I purchased my Quintana Roo wetsuit from you a couple of months ago. I appreciate the patience and knowledge that your sales staff had.

Dave V. from Pa, 5/02:  Luvin it!!! Just wanted to let you know how great [my custom BiKyle frame] feels every time I'm out on it.Since that first day many years ago, it still feels like I'm sitting in it, instead of on it!

John R. from In, 5/02: THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP... I really appreciate your taking the time to give me a call and help problem solve on this one. In fact, your fine help confirms once again what I've been saying all along that Cycles BiKyle is by far the best bike shop I've found anywhere that I've lived. I guess that's why I'm still willing to drive the 12 hours from Indianapolis when I need work on my bike rather than trust any of the shops out here in Indianapolis. Anyway, thanks very much for the help and I'll look forward to dropping in and getting the chance to thank you in person the next time I get back to Philadelphia.  

Paul  H. from Pa, 4/02: I bought a Rocky Mountain Soul from you last month. I absolutely love the bike. I ended up 13th in the adventure race (the real reason I bought a mtn bike). Since I feel there is good karma from my bike purchase from your store, I would be interested in buying a new bike for triathlons. I am not sure which way I want to go... but I'll call. Thank you in advance.

Chris O. from Md, 2/02: I picked up the Pegoretti Fina Estampa I ordered from you this past Saturday. While I've only been able to put around 65 miles on it so far, the bike and fit are tremendous!! ... you guys did a tremendous job putting the bike together. I'll definitely recommend to other people looking for a pro shop to make the trip up to see Kyle for a fitting. I am amazed at the difference that a professional fitting me has made in just the the short period I've been able to get out on the bike. Thanks for all your help!

Jeff B. from Or, 2/02: Now that I have ridden my new Torelli bike a couple hundred miles, I am really liking it. The carbon forks and seat stays really suck up the bumps. Very smooth. And feels very light going up the hills. The biggest thing I have noticed, however, is that I can descend on curvy roads much faster. Just seems much more stable and tracks really well. All of a sudden, I can keep up with the gonzo downhillers; liking that! And the Record shifting is unbelievable. Tell Kyle and the boys thanks. I am very happy with the whole package. And I think I now have a few jealous riding buddies.

David R. from Mexico, 1/02: I am a previous (and still satisfied) customer of yours. I bought a bike around 1984-85. It was an Atala. I rode that bike hard for 12 years. I can't imagine how many miles I had on it but it never failed me. Regretfully, I had to sell it (with most of the original parts still on it) because I was moving out of the country. It was like selling an old friend and I still miss the great ride it gave. From day-one it was a dynamite fit. I hope to return to your shop and get into another ride. I can't even think of buying a bike that was not so well well fitted. When I came across your web page I thought I would write a quick thank you for the tens of thousands of miles I enjoyed on one of your bikes. Glad to read of your success. Thanks again and blessings.

Diana G. from Pa, 12/01: Thank you so much for your assistance finding the right mountain bike. I've been enjoying a lot of trail riding, even on Thanksgiving day. All my best to the staff at Kyles.

Tony R. from Tx, 12/01: Just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my Mondonico Diamond Extra. You fitted and built this bike for me in the spring of 1997 and as you can see [picture attached], I've taken good care of it and the bike in turn has given me thousands of miles of riding pleasure. I don't believe there is a bike out there that fits me so well and offers the sure footedness and smooth ride characteristics of this bike. So all I really want to say is thanks to you and your crew, and my best wishes that your business continues to thrive in 2002. 

Scott B. from Pa, 10/01: I am writing to tell you how much I enjoy the Mondonico. You are absolutely correct about fit; fit is everything. Even though this bike is probably a newer version of the DeRosa, in essence, the difference is remarkable. My speed on hill climbing has clearly increased. I had not realized how far behind the pedals I was before until I started to ride this one. ….the new technology, and the feel of this frame makes riding a dream. The service I received was very professional. I called Ryan; he phoned me back and he had a date to finish the bike, which was a few days past the estimated date. I said that I had hoped to go for a ride that Saturday, but I understood. I then received a call back saying that he would get right to the wheels and the bike would be ready. When I arrived, Walter was pleasant and professional. Then I had a couple of technical questions and Neil was absolutely a gentleman-mechanic. You have built a great organization with a very professional staff. As usual, it is wonderful to have time to speak with you, Kyle. Thank you for your friendship, and thank you for helping me get this bike; I'll be in soon for a checkup. J… is also happy at how pleased I was with her present to me, thanks from her as well.

Albert G. from Ma, 9/01: The bike runs great and looks terrific. I've about 250 miles on it. The shifting is as crisp as a Swiss watch. Thanks to all.

Patsy R. from Co, 8/01: I LOVE my new Mondonico frame! Just wanted to let you know that it feels real good, quick and responsive. Climbs well. And you can see me coming!!! Love the color, too. Thanks for all your help.

Leslie B. from Or, 8/01: Finally it has all come together!  Got my pedals on this past weekend and the computer squared away and I am so excited. I already told Kyle that the fit is amazing. I am so much more comfortable on this bike [Torelli Stiletto]. I can ride much longer, feel more efficient, and just love the feel. If I wasn't pregnant I would probably be going nuts riding all over the place, training and racing. I am grateful that I am still riding and hope to ride to the end of the pregnancy and get back to racing next summer. Thanks again for all your help.

Ray S. from Pa, 8/01: ...I love the Pinarello Prince. After back-to-back 40 milers (not as easy as they used to be), the bike tracks straight as can be, is very agile on cornering, climbs real well, and was free of any problems.

Michael C. from Md, 8/01: I took delivery of my Mondonico EL-OS from BiKyle in June, 2000. It is absolutely perfect. Size, weight, fit, components (Record 10) and accessories. You guys done good!

Bill N. from De, 8/01: Just wanted to say thanks for the help on the bike at the last minute before I went to the Tour. Had a great time. The Masi, as always, performed well. No problems. Took the team logo to the tops of Cor de Tourmalet, Luz Adiden, Hautecam and more!

Tom S. from Great Britain, 7/01: The Bianchi Cross bike (I've attached a photo) goes really well. I use it every day to get to work and have done a couple of hundred miles at weekends. Weighs under 21 pounds without the rack/fenders!

Eric W. from Pa, 7/01: Category I racer - Just wanted to thank you for the great bike. Fits well and is quick! Second ride on it and I got a 2nd place result, so it seems to work fine for me! Thanks.

Kevin K. from Pa, 2/01:  I purchased a Cervélo P3 from you on January 29, and I'm writing to tell you that I love it. I can't believe that you could had the bike so "dialed in." It's sweet!

John W. from Pa, 9/00: I JUST LOVE IT! It's [Torelli Countach] the first new bike I've had in 12 years. It is so light and handles so quick. I was used to C-Record and Delta bikes; the new Record is like night and day. I am really happy with the fit! I really feel much more comfortable on my new bike than my old bike. Thank you very much! 

Max B. from Pa, 7/00: I must say that my new Bianchi Veloce is beyond my expectations!!! I'm shocked at how well it fit right off the bench, although I heard that's how it works in your shop. ...Thanks for setting me up so well.

David M. from Pa, 6/00: I've had my De Rosa Giro almost one year and I have been very pleased. The ride is comfortable and secure. It climbs well and sticks like glue to the asphalt on  descents. I have also seen a marked difference in my conditioning since I was sized "BiKyle". The Campy Chorus group has also performed flawlessly. Thanks for the support.  Looking forward to a visit for a tune-up.

Vince A. from Pa, 6/00: ...the fit of my new K2 is excellent! I have now taken two off road rides and I am learning this bike's characteristics; it rides great. ... I will probably see K2 at Nationals (and I'll also let them know how pleased I am).

Peter C. from Vt, 5/00: I've finally gotten some miles on the De Rosa Merak. Still don't have the final stem and handlebar combo [that you recommended], but it's been superb. Very responsive on the hills and comfortable on long rides. I rode 85-90 last Thurs. to a meeting into a 20 mph headwind. The bike felt great the whole way but couldn't make the headwind go away. Any suggestions?

Jeremy S. from Oh, 3/00: Just a note to thank you for the time spent retro-fitting my Merckx. I have gone with all of your recommendations and am seeing immediate benefits most visibly in heart rate and climbing efficiency. Also, thank you for your restaurant suggestion. Very nice meal and a great family!!!

Jim B. from VA, 01/00: I would like to thank you for your terrific service in the design and delivery of my new touring bike and in the upgrade of my racing bike. I am very pleased with the fit and finish of the Bradley. Each time I ride it I am amazed at how comfortable and stable it feels. The fact that it fits me like a glove is testimony to your expertise and years of experience working with the top riders on their fits. I cannot tell you how great it is to now have a bike built specifically to meet my dimensions and riding style! ...My new and improved bikes have proven that the 7 hours, 350 mile round trip from Virginia to your shop has been more than worth it! Thanks again for the great service.

Chris H. from Pa, 6/99: Guys, just wanted to thank you and tell you my new bike is fantastic (I wish I was worthy of it given my current state of conditioning!). I took it out for my first ride yesterday and it was truly invigorating. The fit and feel of the bike is fantastic and Kyle, you were absolutely right, when I jump on the pedals, the bike is 10 feet ahead of me before I start! Anyway, just wanted to say great job and thanks.

Chris D. from NJ, 5/99: I want to compliment you all on the great job you did measuring and outfitting me for my new bike, the Bianchi Brava. As a beginner, it's the bike for me - light and easy to ride. My compliments to you all. You really know what you're doing. Thanks for helping choose the perfect bike for me.

Terry D. from NJ, 3/99: Well, you've done it again! Another great bike - and at a great price. Although I haven't been able to ride the Merlin for any distance longer than 30 miles, I can already foresee the endless possibilities for having fun - without pain. Well worth waiting 10 years for a new bike. What a neat bike to be able to own! As always, I appreciate your assistance, guidance and of course, your expertise in bike fitting. I'm fortunate to have been directed to your store back in 1988 and to have met you. Thanks for all you have done and give my special thanks to Gregg and Bryan and your other mechanics for their professional yet personal service. You guys are all great! Thanks for taking care of me.

Tony M. from NJ, 3/97: Thanks for the great Torelli bike! I appreciate all the help and expert advice you gave me. It was a big decision for me to make in in purchasing a new bike but speaking with the entire staff I realize that I made the right one. I'm trying to convince others in my area to come up to your shop to visit and possibly purchase a new bike. It's better than buying "off the rack".

Steve B. from Pa, 10/96: After about 100 miles on the Merlin the new seat position is making lots of sense. My average speed is up 1 mph (touring). It corners, climbs, and starts much better than the old bike. Thanks.

Barry C. from Ga, 5/96: Kyle, Just wanted to say thanks again for all the help I received from you and the other guys who patiently answered my questions during my many phone calls. I'm really enjoying my bike (Bianchi Eros). It's nice to have a comfortable ride that fits.

J. Gibbons from Pa, 3/96: The people you have in your shop are all true professionals and it shows throughout the entire bike process: purchasing, assembling, and instruction. If anyone asks me where I purchased my De Rosa, I know that I do not have any reservations about mentioning your name and your company. You have a customer and a reference for life.

R. Welsh from Pa, 7/95: In my profession and in yours, the only feedback one gets is often the negative - the complaints! So, I am writing to thank you for your service and to tell you that you were right on as to fit. My new bike is wonderful - stable, points where I want it to go, brakes well, and has a great ride. I have enough experience to realize that, for the first time, I am on a high quality ride.

Bruce D. from Pa, former Olympian and 7 time National Champion, 5/95: Thanks for all your help with my new bike. It is great. And, it is a thrill being back in the saddle again. Hats off to your staff for great service.

Jennifer S. from Pa, 6/95: I just wanted to drop a note to thank you for the great job fitting me on my bike. I think I've put on more miles in the past week than in the past year!

Lou E. from NJ, 2/95: I can't begin to tell you how great it felt coming to your store last week. I felt I was buying a work of art (which it is). You are real pros. I wrote a detailed letter to Road Bike Action about you and your shop. Everyone should know how good you are.

Dan M. from Pa, 10/94: Please accept my thanks for great service and a great product. I've only had my bike a few short days and already, I'm completely convinced it is a perfect machine. So far, I've noticed the difference in the instant response to steering input and the efficient translation of muscle effort to forward motion. The bike is responsive, comfortable, and beautiful. It's been a pleasure doing business with you. I will certainly recommend your shop to anyone considering a quality bicycle.

Jeff J. from NY, 3/84: My bike now has 10,000 miles on it and is still going strong. ...a little worse for wear after crossing England, Ireland, Scotland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, India, Nepal, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, New Caledonia, and now finally, New Zealand. Over some of the worst roads in the world it has taken me in comfort.
