Hitchhiking and bicycle touring is still somewhat okay, as it leaves a certain sign on your face.

But if you just want to try a good and diverse food then London, Hamburg, FM, LA, NYC should be just fine.

Oh wait, what's this thread called....
Here is my tourer/ winter commuter / kids hauler. It has been posted in 20th already, but was modified again. I am super happy about the fit. Except for a carbon fork I can't think of what else I would like to change.

I was waiting for this bike to show up. Definitely hot in my book, despite the front fender glitch.
