What we need to see....More bike pics
I like seeing everyones bikes (and I am sure there are those like be that like posting their bikes) so here is a chance to see what people ride
Me 6' 271.2
my Commuter/utility. I just get on an ride for errands, and put on the clipless shoes for longer rides/commutes Started as '82 nishiki and got a remake a few years ago. First version had flatbar....that gave wrist pain. So checkout the current bars. 8 speed with friction thumbshifter. Wheels are 32 spoke, deore hubs and Sun cr18 rims
the road bike. 89 Miyata 1400 upgraded to ultegra 9spd triple STI (shows the barcons in this pic) 32 spoke ultegra hubs with velocity deep v rims.

Now I've got to post mine. Had a nasty fall today, both the bike and child are ok. I'm going to be bruised for a little bit. This one is at the park a few weeks ago.

This is now Hanging upside down in the garage like a bat in a cave 
This is what has been making my juices flow this year. Look at that thing. I mean, look at that!! I looks like they could have rode it in when they snuffed Bin Laden
It's that cool

The bike is fine, just had to fix the brakes a bit. Hopefully will go for a shakedown ride tomorrow if I can hold more weight on my knee.

I cant be the only clyde that rides SSFG?! This is my converted '87 Schwinn LeTour, less about half of its original parts. Although dont worry, I kept all the originals so I can return the bike to stock if need be.

Fixed riding is wayyyy different, but I came from riding BMX as a kid, so it wasnt that far of a stretch for me. After riding SS most of my life, I picked up a flipflop rear hub just in case. The flipflop hub is a great option to have so you can switch about depending on where/how far you plan to ride.

Glad the little one's okay. May I ask, what kind of kickstand are you using? My son recently graduated to a Trail-a-Bike and loading/unloading can be a real PITA.
