KHS Urban X First Impression
I rode the Urban X to work yesterday. I rode my 20 mile commute and I got a good feeling on how this bike rides. Here’s my first impression: Looks: I love the way this bike looks, why? It’s unique, stealthy and not everyone likes the style making it less desirable to steal. There was…
