i don't think pics came through- sorry for repost

Here is mine - Trek 7200, shown with all my storage options: rack truck, handlebar box, and grocery pannier, which hooks on and off real easy and has handles like a grocery bag.

Quite funtional with them all, but i rarely use all at once. The grocery pannier is great for big things like groceries, shoe box size stuff, and larger. (Very european with some french bread sticking out of it).

I usually just use the rack trunk for work and back, and also have a shoulder strap with it. It's my "purse" even when not biking, but for bike commuting or errands or wherever i can just carry it around on shoulder, kind of like messenger bag. Holds pants/shirt, books, videos, and my tupperwares fit in perfect.

Also as you can see in pic #3 i need some moldings!! They are friggen expensive. Anyone a good woodworker? I have a miter saw!!

Take care, love all the other pics as well

Oops - i meant "European Carry All"

rainedon, that's a beautiful bike. I have dreams a fixed gear like that to alternate with my current commuter.

My new commuter....pick it up tomorrow after work

My New Bike

Here's my current commuter:

It replaced the Redline I used to ride in post 131 of this thread.

FlippinHades, I notice you use Sheldon Browns trick of lining up the tyre label with the valve.

Nice bike.,

I thought everyone did that. :p

I've relegated my Safari (see very early in this thread) to winter commuting duties and now ride my Atlantis to work.

Bike Friday Pocket Nomad (now a single-speed):

I do now :)

My vintage tank, a 7 mile daily commute, soon to be 30 miles daily.

Here's my Trek 7300FX, with rear rack, Altura pannier, Trek wireless CPU and Bikehut carbon fibre bar ends.

I absolutely love this bike. Only cost £370 new and for that price has a super Aluminium SL butted frame and fantastic components. It's ultra light for a hybrid and crusies along beautifully at 18mph on the flat.

That is a fine looking bike, sir.

The Fisher is my general around town ride. The Schwinn is for rain and riding with my daughter (it is slower and heavier and does great on sidewalk bumps). The Schwinn gets knobbies for winter, too.

Here is my daily ride. I wish Bianchi made these in steel. The nexus 8sp is really nice. As you can see by the handlebar...I'm a geek, too.

Beautiful! :)

That Atlantis makes me feel all warm and squishy inside.

I'm new here, but this is my favoirite thread by far. Bikes that people use for transportation are always more interesting to me than bikes that are purely used for sport.

My daily ride. The first is a red Peugeot Nice circa 1988, Reynolds 501. Niterider twin light with a Nashbar trunk bag & misc. blinkies attached. I hate the pedals but have been too lazy to replace them. I found this bike in a police auction shed. It had been there for at least 10 years and they gave it to me - free -. The gears and brakes worked perfect the first time, well, ok, the rear derailler needed a little adjustment. The tires were dryrotted and I replaced those. :rolleyes:

The second is my foul weather bike. I've had this bike since 1991 when my wife and I bought 2 of them to ride to school. We rode them everyday for years to campus, then to work. I added the clips, Planet Bike fenders, and the rack. It's a solid bike and I still enjoy riding it although the Peugeot seems sweet now.

That Peugeot is a nice bike! I like that alot, and its in my size too ;) I lust after the same color scheme, but in black.
Here's the pix, fixed:
[edit] n/m, you already fixed them.

That is one fine looking bike, and look at the storage spaces!

Cheers!

Guess I better check in my new commuter on here. Previous commuter was a Mercier Corvus called Rozinante that served me well for 14000 miles. My new commuter has 800 miles on it already, behold Dulcinea!

Thanks all for the comments, the Atlantis really is my ideal bicycle and it rides even better then it looks.

But anyway I have to say that I agree absolutely with your comment regarding utility cycling. It really is frustrating to see cycling relegated as a sport when that really is the least of its uses.

Fun to see all the "accessories" people attach to them. :D

No kidding. Did you see that Swedish bike with the second stem holding a light? It's in the thread about how to carry a u-lock. (A seriously mechanical question :rolleyes: )
