1. As a rider, what bike do you ride (or wish you did) that makes you feel you are creating the impression you would like to create?

I am the "old bike guy"and am not sure if that is because people think I am old or because I regularly ride bicycles that are 50-60 years old... if anything, this may have spawned an interest in others to find nice vintage bicycles, particularly older British 3 speeds.

2. As an observer, what do you think when you see somebody on a Weigle, Cinelli, Hetchins, Rene Herse, etc.?

I will let you know when I see someone riding one of these... I do know many of the locals who ride old British steel and many of these meetings stemmed from a couple of guys exchanging "nice bike" comments.
