Some may have dreams of being the next Lance Armstrong, some may just want to get into a competitive sport, some just for the social aspect, and then there are those that want to get in better shape, maybe lose a few pounds. There are also those who just can't handle the high impact sports, such as running, because of the impact on their knees and back. Biking is a perfect replacement. Whatever the reason, the GMC Yukon XL Road Bike should meet anyone's needs.
