What did you use to rotate the images? Some viewers just record a "rotation" value in the EXIF data of the JPEG and others actually rotate the image data itself. Not all viewers understand that rotation EXIF field though, and on those, the field has no effect.

This link is to a photo of what commuter bicycles look like in Florence, Italy. People ride into the old city center from outlying areas and park everywhere, but this is an official parking area. http://www.bikeforums.net/attachment...0&d=1225332602

what handlebar is that?

Straggler commuter
 

My new commuter/light tourer. Custom build black Straggler with red King hub and headset, 105 components, Velocity A23 Comp wheels, Rock n' Road tires, HY/RD brakes, VO Grand Cru seatpost, Brooks Flyer, Salsa stem and cowbell bars, Tubus disco rack, Somafab porteur rack, A530 dual platform pedals.

Super comfy ride. Gonna swap out the RnR tires for smoother Compass 38s this week.

it's a thicker diameter handlebar (Bontranger), and came with the bike

My new commuter .... only received it yesterday, and it needs some work/customising:

We'll try this again. Hopefully it'll work this time.

Forgot to mention I also added some Biiokork grips.

Office parking. :D

I like the infinity desktop!

Newest commuting addition! Charge Plug Sora

It all started a few years ago. :D

Hot summer days warrant different tools...

Especially when most of the commute is dirt, gravel, and trail.

I pass an older gent (must be in his 60's) every morning on the way to work on a cruiser. he's not getting anywhere quickly, but it's sturdy AF and seemingly as reliable. Big basket on the front and everything.

Completed my first commute yesterday in the wind and rain via Ferry.

Absolutely loved it.

Give myself a rest today though as I'm struggling to walk...

Wow your first day was a trial by fire (or rather the opposite)! Sounds like a blast though, keep at it, your body will adapt quickly (probably within a few weeks). Enjoy the commute, riding a ferry sounds like a great daily commute!

here's mine... incidentally on a ferry too

Yeah, second day in and the ferry was cancelled so had to cycle another couple of miles to catch the train.

Still learning the gears however as I'm pretty sure I'm killing myself on flat terrain. :lol:

Nothing better than fresh sea air to start your morning, is there?

My new N+1
 

My new ride. Just picked it up today. It's a Norco Threshold A3 with Sora. It's heavier than my Bianchi, which has cantilever brakes. But I recently crashed that one; not that there's anything wrong/damaged on it; just brings back some traumatic memories. At least that's the story I tell my wife.:lol:

Not sure if I'm going to put fenders on it yet.

Hand-me-down from a friend, who used it as his commute bike when he lived in San Francisco. Now he's into racing and even completed the Kona Ironman.

I don't know much about Nishiki Sport bikes but I think it's one from the 80's. A bit big for me so I keep the saddle down pretty low.

One month into a 6.5 mi each way commute. Been rewarding so far.

New here.
Hi.

Just getting acquainted with this bike I picked up a few weeks ago.
So far I feel I've learned a lot from just riding it and seeing how things work.

I've never been into bikes before so I know almost nothing besides how to ride and how many wheels are typical.
So learning a lot is easy!

It's been fun learning here and seeing all the pix of different styles, etc.

Neat bike! That top tube looks like you could use it for a rocket launcher.

[MENTION=441201]ShadowBoxer[/MENTION] that looks like a Van Moof. We have a few of those in my neighborhood. Show the pictures of the built in lights.

I am pretty sure there is a military version of these used by the Danish Army with that feature!
Seriously, Google it. After all this time we've known each other, I wouldn't lie to you.
:lol:

OR what I would like to call a very weak and feeble Photon Propulsion at the back and a very feeble and weak Laser at the front.
AKA: A headlight and a taillight. :)


It is a VanMoof.
I made a video of the bike as I'm riding it (one handed! Yes, I do my own stunts) for my YouTube channel review (not finished yet), but I've not taken any pictures of them.
Here are some pix from the CraigsList ad:

This version/ model also has a built-in, integrated Abus chain lock. I always thought that was cool but I'm actually surprised at how practical and useful it's been.

I am a bit of an industrial design fan and the more I live and ride with this bike, the more I appreciate it.
There are many detail points that I like, but in general I just like the way it looks with it's very clean and practical lines and finish.

Maybe you guys can help answer a question I've been working on;
I want to get a secondary lock for it. I want to get an Abus lock.
1) I could get an Abus frame lock; secures and immobilizes the rear wheel.
It will be fixed to the frame and is the least intrusive from a visual/ design perspective. Keeps the visuals as clean as possible.

2) I could get an Abus Granite X U-lock. One of the toughest U-locks around.
These U-locks and the built-in chain lock both have the same super-duper lock/ tumbler.
Abus will make one of these that will match my current key if I want (+$10-15 I think, no big deal. The frame locks do not have the same keys so a match is impossible). So I would have a bigger, tougher and more intrusive U-lock (hanging off a bracket in the middle of the frame I suppose) but with the same key for both.
More busy visually, but a gnarlier lock and one key that fits both the chain and the U-lock.

Any opinions on that? What would you do?
Thanks for your help and experience.
