# Adventure Cyclist review

Patrick O'Grady spent some time reviewing our 2011 New World Tourist with the Select Group, and his conclusions appear in the June issue of *Adventure Cyclist* magazine, the official publication of the[Adventure Cycling Association](http://www.adventurecycling.org/) -- a great resource for touring.

Just thought we'd share a couple of excerpts:

*"Abandon your preconceived notions and ride the damn bike. Like any other two-wheeler, riding a New World Tourist is way more fun than many other things you can do with your clothes on, and it's a good deal more versatile than whatever a wanna-be racer is riding."*

...

*"Without racks and bags, the New World Tourist accelerates, corners, and brakes like a cat in a dog park. The straight-gauge, 4130-chromoly, made-in-Oregon frameset provides a comfortable, bump-muffling ride, and once rolling the bike doesn't feel as though it weighs nearly 29 pounds (that's with pedals, racks, and kickstand)."*

...

Few review a bike the way Patrick O'Grady does.
