Great coverage.

Michael, I’ll be surprised as well, but in the ten or so years that I have known about it, I have never seen that runeride website down before. It will be shame if the competition doesn’t happen.

Fritz, I am happy to see the media attention that the Lime is getting. Trek is doing a great job promoting it and I hope other companies follow suit. Certainly they will if the Lime product line is successful for Trek.

Trek, especially, seems to be taking the lead in their promotion of Lime. I hope their distributors take it as seriously as Trek seems to.

In fact it would rather dull without it. Despite the fact that very few workable concepts emerge it serves an important social function within the Taiwanese bicycle industry in affirming their global position as a manufacturing nation of quality bicycles. The Taiwanese are extremely proud of the progress they have made in becoming the go to country in Asia for quality products. Hell, even the Italians, famously snooty as they are, have their composite bicycles made there now.

I just posted a mini-review and photos of Trek’s Lime Light Coasting bike.

I’ve been following Coasting closely. You can read all my coverage here.
