Hello From Queens

I started riding my bike in Queens about 5 months ago until I took a few months off after my bike broke along with my piggy bank, I finally bought a new bike and started riding again today for the first time in months.. I actually got a lot of great information about the bike I bought off this forum and decided to join and share my experiences.... Also If you live in the area and want to ride sometime hit me up on here..

Hi RubberDucks, what bike did you get yourself?

It's not the same Dawes of years ago, but it should still serve you well. Enjoy .

Dude!! I'm in Astoria too! What color is your SST? I just got a black one from BD. It's for my birthday so I haven't opened it yet. But if you see someone bombing to work in a black sst it's probably me!
