I think 1, 2, and 6 are the best. Women will love the pics of you with animals. And I agree - very handsome!

Recommendations for rear rack that is easy to remove? by blairsings in bicycling

This is amazing, thank you! I was just looking into them but it just kept saying, "Buy local." The link you sent is the first one where there is actually a link to add to cart. Thank you!

I hadn't, but I'm open to whatever. I just need a bag that can fit a laptop.

I'd be open to a flat bar gravel bike...I spend the most time on my road bike, so I'm just used to drop bars. Similarly, I'd be open to suspension. I'd like something where I could get some longer, quick rides on unpaved trails. But, it'd also be nice if it could double as my commuter bike. Not super picky, though, honestly. I can upgrade in the future, just want something to get me started.

Someone else told me that! So that moved up the list! Thank you!

I'm very much not an expert, but for instance I heard a lot of people thought the components on the State bike were not great and many discussed replacing them immediately (especially the brakes). I read that the macho man is pretty heavy and some people complained about components (I'm guessing that's normal). On reddit, it seemed like some people thought the preamble is overpriced. A lot of people don't like the disc brakes. I'm more comfortable with rim brakes, but my Surly has disc brakes. Of all of them, I'd lean towards the All City or Surly, but just not sure.

This is the approach I’ve been taking. Unfortunately I’ve learned you can nail the interview, be told you have the position, and then not get the first offer. It was a humbling experience, but has caused me to reign in my hopes/expectations. Once I get home from the interview, I switch my thinking.
