My "daily wear" ride is this early model Novara Big Buzz. I love the bike, and use it for errands, hauling cargo, scooting around town, family rides, and fun rides e.g. July 4th parade and Critical Mass. It's bristling with extras, like two different trailer mounts, a sidecar mount, Monkey lights and all the utility goodies like lock, lights, repair kit, pump, fenders, etc., yet it still rides pretty fast (I did bump the cogset to a 13-34 8spd, and crank to a 39/53 to get better range). It's truly my go-to bike year round, sun, rain, snow, dirt or pavement.
