Those levers look terrific. They're based on an old design I loved back in the day.

My current commuter. Nothing particularly fancy. Depending on what I'm carrying, I use a variety of different panniers/baskets.

Wasn't sure where else to put this just to share, but I see this guy a few times a week on my bike commute route through the park. He's got LEDs in the front for headlights, too. He hauls at a pretty good clip. I love it!

i have seen one of those boards as well. I thought it would be tempting to have the days i drive to ride from where i park to work. It would make the walk a touch quicker

Beautiful bicycle! Is that a Decathlon Triban? If so, did you get it from a US dealer?

I recently moved to the UK, bought it when I first arrived.

Its a tank, and I did a few small upgrades. Seems like an OK value for the money.

Those side bags would be handy in route to work so I can out all my crap in. Does it affect balance much?

Not really. If you load one side only, you might notice at first that you're correcting for it, but your brain knows how to keep the bike upright. It doesn't care if the weight comes from you leaning or from stuff in a bag. The weight is also low enough to the ground that it doesn't really pull the bike over very much.

Had to swap the randonneur bars and original levers because they were not working for me at all. Bike is now sporting a Soma Late Riser bar, with Brooks leather grips, and Tektro city brake levers

Very classy! One plus of downtube shifters is, they free up your handlebar choices

My 2017 Genesis CDF 20.
Been using this for over 2 years now and love it.

Recently upgraded the rims/hubs, tyres, saddle and bar tape! Old hubs needed replacing so went for cassette style freehub to keep maintenance to a minimum going forwards!

Quite often have a rear rack with panniers or just a large saddle bag for my commute or rides out.

Thanks Matthew 👍🏼
Commute is around 6 miles each way on a mixture of road, gravel track and woodland. Also go on longer 20+mile rides a few times a week incorporating the same. Yes running WTB Nano 40c Fast Rollers.
My office is also near coastal trails and the 2012 Olympic Mountain bike course so sometimes nip out at lunch and have some fun plus take longer way home 😊🚲

This has been my commuter for the past many months. It’s an old Trek 820 I found in a junk pile mated to a Crust Clydesdale fork. Mostly 90s XT group. Front/rear dynamo lighting, full fenders, big ol’ basket. It’s a super-commuter.

Love the bike. Not sure about your "office" though--not sure I could take the smell

^^^^^ Whiskey Tango with that "stem"? Is that a cut piece from a top tube / downtube from a Miyata? Excuse the OCD, but how on Earth is that assembled/secured?

And +1; you need an office with a better view....

yeah dude, get that rear shifter cable under control!

I'm seeing generator hub with a headlight and a power cable going back to a rear light?

Way cool man, looks like your daughter's a badass with that well-decorated monster commuter!

dyno taillight was way easier than yelling at my kids each morning to turn on their taillight (and hope they turned if off at the other end so as not to kill the battery)

Long Haul Trucker goes to college (I rode it for 10k miles then handed it to my son who is probably close to outgrowing it...)
