That's called Chevro-legs. :D

I forgot one of my regular commuters... which also happens to be a fixed gear.

It also serves as a backup when sciatica makes it hard to swing a leg over a standard sized bike and it gives up nothing to it's big brothers and sisters in the performance department.

The last time I planned on taking him to work he had a a flat so it was one of those moments I was glad to have had a few spare bikes to choose from.

What is that in your front basket? First thing I noticed was that the rubbish (or whatever it is) looks kind of like a cartoon skull. Anyone else notice that?

The show must go on ...

Hi neighbor,

I'm interested in the handlebars on that commuter-ized mountain bike in the middle of your 3 bikes -- what are they?

And, what kind of bike is that?

I'm converting a Stumpjumper for commuting/touring and still not sure about the handlebars (I have trekking bars on order...).

It's only taken 27 bikes to get to these four:D

Print away.

Don't have one, really, though there are several bikes hanging around that I could ride, none of them are really equipped, they're family member's noodlin' around bikes, no lights, etc.

The only time I've ever had something break on my bike that I couldn't fix in time to ride was a couple of weeks ago when I broke an axle. Then I transferred all my stuff (fenders/racks/etc) to my wife's bike for 3 days while the new wheel came in, then moved everything back.

I could have just driven my car though. Did, for one day.

No backup for me.

I will never tire of seeing that Univega...

Oh that's my seat cover for when it rains. :thumb:

That's good, because I post it a lot. :lol: I say it's my backup commuter, but I try to ride it whenever I know I won't need to carry a lot of things after work.

:eek: It's a Mama Chari :D

I'd like to point out some finer points:
Selle Italia Saddle
Bazooka Straight Bar
Deore Levers
Ultegra front brake pads
Red Hub Hair on front and rear hubs.
:love:

EDIT: Oh Oh it's a single speed so it must be hip too

I agree.

A couple of guys at work seemed to be horrified when I came in on my new (used) cruiser.

They seemed to think it was a "girl's" bike because of the sloping top tube, and when I rang the Mickey Mouse bell, their jaws dropped.

I just laughed and said I'm thinking about adding pink streamers on it.

I thought it was spare underwear... you know... for in case you crashed.

:lol:

One bike is for wussy

It also doubles as a helmet cover for aerodynamics.
Now you've given me a third use for it.
You beauty mate :thumb:

Right now, I guess I just have the main bike- the Nishiki XRS Sport hybrid. I also have a Nishiki Olympic 12 that I had been using, but it has a bent frame and a bad tire right now, so that's out of service at present. Then there's my '66 Raleigh DL-1 Tourist, "The Old Gentleman," that I got last week. It's close to roadworthy but not really setup for commuting. I plan to add a rack on the back and a basket up front to make it a grocery-getter, but until I do I guess my main backup is my car.

The idea is wonderful.
Maybe one of these days I'll be able to afford a new one.
Still paying (though almost done) for my Trek 7200

The Monster Bike:

One bike for now, Scott SUB 30. the backup for now is the bus or a 92' Ford Taurus. Only until i can build my SS.

+1... that is a lovely bike!

Nice tires. Does that bike ride as smooth as it looks?

I too, have a revolving stable of 7 bikes, 6 of which see some commuting duty. Each one's different, fixie/ss, cross, MTB, vintage, touring, old carbon, and modernized steel. The fixie/ss doesn't see duty often because it requires a lot of energy; the MTB is miserable for commuting. Some have fenders and some have panniers, and a couple are pure racing bikes. I need to update some of these pics & get one of the MTB. The Grand Record (Chuck) is being set up now to replace the Alan Shorter (Pumpkin).

yeah, i do the "fleet thing' too. have 4, but just kinda ride whatever i'm in the mood for when i wake up to go to work. pretty flat for my commute, so i have 3 cruisers (a single spd, a 3spd and a 5speed) and a cheap full-suspension bike my wife got me one day. my comute is realativly simple, but o do it on bike everday. if snow gets too deep, then i'll drive my truck. plows here don't run at 4am.
