Yup. A Globe Carmel comfort hybrid, long wheelbase, slack geometery, entry level spring suspension fork, massively heavy, strong frame. It's what I began with in 2015 when I was recovering from back and neck injuries and needed an easy re-entry to cycling. It's still my local errands bike.

And a '92 Univega Via Carisma, what was then a mountain bike-lite, an early hybrid. It's being morphed into a sporty city bike, with albatross handlebar to replace the original flat bar, and other changes to suit my preferences. It wasn't as comfortable at first but my conditioning and flexibility have improved and it's a lot more fun to ride than the Globe.

I also have an older drop bar road bike that I ride about half the time.
