FWIW the bike fleet at this particular plant probably numbers close to 100 with all of them being single speed work bikes, about 1/3 or so are trikes. Some are original to the plant which would make them around 20 years old. According to the purchasing agent they buy 5-10 a year on average. My old favorite was the Chicago built Schwinn Heavy Duty with a cantilever frame, I had one for my paper route and still regret selling that yellow monster, it would roll with over 200# of newspapers on board.
