These are my bikes, both of which get used for commuting. The left one is my 3-speed 'thing' which started as a cheap mtb I rescued from the dump and repainted. The modifications began from there. Since taking this, it's also gained some proper slick tyres to replace the semi-slicks on there. By now it's assumed the role of a dutch-style city bike which I use for everyday commuting and general riding around. Sometimes I bolt a wooden crate to the rear rack to carry shopping or bulky stuff.

The red bike is my dad's old Raleigh Scorpion. This is my backup commuter bike for when the thing is out of action. It's mostly standard, apart from the handlebars which are the original bars from the thing, turned upside down. A rear rack is next on the list. It's a bit faster than the thing due to the slightly more stretched out position and higher gearing. I use this if I'm in a hurry or fancy a change of wheels.
