After I had to quit my job because of wage theft and a hostile work environment I could not afford to replace a car that went to hell. So I took up using a bike to get groceries. The bike I purchased appears to be a mountain bike: it has large tires, a suspension system consisting of springs and hydraulic shock absorbers and a beautifully engineered disc brake in front. The design is almost lyrical. While not that necessary a disc brake would be nice in the real wheel if it did not get in the way of the sprockets. I am in my early 70's but I train hard with weights and after a few months riding went from difficult for my endurance to effortless.
It may not be in the style of others, but it is right for my tastes and preferences.
