Tested: Rocky Mountain Vertex 20

Oct 2016

Ah to be a kid.… When I ventured out on a bike ride with my 8-year-old boy this summer, we made a few stops along the way. All suited up in his bright green swim trunks with matching shirt and sun hat (jammed under his helmet), he hopped aboard the Rocky Mountain Vertex 20.
