From: Downtown Detroit, Mi.

Bikes: Surly LHT, 94 Cannondale track bike, 80's Cannondale track bike, 60's Raleigh 5 speed, 1888 Eldridge wood wheel track bike and my old 76 DG BMX from when I was a kid.

A beater can just be as simple as being used or pre-owned like my $35 yard sale find that would cost over $500 new to replace it. My so called "good bike" was a large chunk of cash (for me) and the thought of slush and road salt,,, EeeeK! My $35 beater is a great bike but still $35.
