Cycling Plus staff writer Kate Hodgins is slowly being indoctrinated into the dark side: she is becoming interested in bikes and gear. To put that in context it means she's moving up from utility-type Brompton riding commuter to Pooley style drop-bar obsessive. And she’s not even a middle-aged man.

To whit, her latest ride is the Trek Madone 5.2 WSD, which she describes as the "sexiest bike I have ever seen" (and more) in her Cycling Plus blog.

What do you think? Hot or not?
