Clever!

Yup, my trusty giro savant helmet. And i kind of put the balloon tires on as a joke, so my bike would be instantly recognizable (minor bike theft is on the rise here, but they are mostly unintelligent drug users who would try to sell it back to you) but i ended up loving the ride. So much cushion, very stable, and still capable on the road. I was averaging 18mph on the part of that ride with no stops for a few miles, which isn't much slower than my normal speed on the drop bar bike with skinnier tires.

Yeah I still need to get the bars wrapped!!! I'm always worried I am going to impale some poor soul!

I have a single Nano on the front and a Specialized Fat Boy on the back. I am torn as to which tire I like more. I will say that the Nano has been AMAZING as far as handling, grip and control on and off the pavement. I would highly recommend those tires!

Ta!

Johnny Mullet better not ask what you mean by that!

It's all good. Don't need to carry a bike lock with me

Flatted on my (wet) day to work. Switched over to Schwalbe Marathon afterwards, no flat since.


Let the soul dangle.. simply cruising around without any direction, just finding new roads.


Right after I had build the bike. Missing the lights and rack.

I got the 'bent out St Patrick's day, it was a little chilly but still sunny and clear.

I love this bike.



Also used my Kona on the weekend to go to and fro, riding light and appreciating how well it handles these beat up roads.



Now we have another 8-10 inches of snow on the ground... it was nice while it lasted.

Ha, correct. Braking is fine. My commute is pretty flat, so it's not much of an issue.

Thanks!

I've been buying frames and parts for years but finally broke down and bought my first "new" bike since 1994 - 2014 Fairdale Weekender Drop. After about a month of daily commutes this is configuration number 3 and though I hate the way the stem extender looks it works for my 50+ neck. If you're not familiar with Fairdale (and I wasn't either) it's a pretty cool company out of Austin. I'm loving this - looking forward to touring on it if the weather ever gets warm.

Yesterday, I installed Vittoria Voyager Hyper tires, rated at 37mm, measured at 35mm. They're huge, but they seem fast, and they're comfy.

I am also running 700cx35 tires on my commuter and really like the ride. Almost as comfy as my 26" MTB tires. Of course these are 35MM tires on 25mm rims. No problems with a ittle over 200 miles on them so far........

I really want a Huffy like that.

It looks like spring has sprung in a lot of places... nice to see folks busting out the nicer rides.

Will still be rolling on snow tyres until later in the week here.

Here's mine. Bought it last week and its a blast to commute with so far!

that is a sweet bike my man!

Wow, I can dig it. I went to the Fairdale web site and they make some great bikes.
Thanks for sharing this with us.

Thanks!

What I'm riding now:




New for 2015 are the rack and trunk bag.
I grew weary of the backpack.

Very funny, [MENTION=367865]leegf[/MENTION].

I let my wife try Citibike. I had no idea she would love it so much. She signed up immediately and is impatiently awaiting her key.

Nice E46 M3 in the pic, I love those cars.

Isn't that Bianchi in danger of someone renting it? Or does the lock stay keyed to a credit card or something?

If the latter, that's an intriguing idea. If bike-friendly businesses installed locking bike racks, and key in and out with your credit card. Charge a dollar for convenient, secure locking - I'd pay it.

It was just a joke, [MENTION=227213]wphamilton[/MENTION]. I docked the bike, snapped a photo, and resumed the remainder of my journey.

Everything but the headlights

Clever idea, but it would have to be as convenient as these docking stations but somehow it would need to lock the frame and both wheels.
