Hi,
Your help would be much appreciated in this field. I'm a 21 year old female with intentions to bike from New York to Montreal on this bike (http://www.jamisbikes.com/usa/thebikes/street/citizen/09_citizen1.html). I would be prepared with the essentials (first aid, spare tire/repair kit, food, water, lights, helmet, gloves, bike leggings). It's a 300 mile trip that I plan to span 4 - 5 days and I would return to New York via train.
My question is:
1. Would the bike be able to handle it?
2. Is the Farmington Canal a safe route to take?
3. Do you have any recommendations for what to do/how to prepare?
4. Is this feasible and not a suicide trip?
