Here are my commuter bikes. The black Schwinn is my everyday bike.
The Nishiki is the bike i just picked up from the swap meet for $30.:D The bigger chain ring had a couple of broken teeth. I removed the ring and derailer. Now she's a six speed. I'm thinking of making this my winter bike. |
Since I pretty much commute on all my road bikes here are the other two I use for when its not raining at all.

Powergrips, i am so tempted to try some out, but i still don't have a worthy bike, the fixed gear conversion runs spd's. And the winter/rain bike runs some dirt platforms with large studs (spikes). I think its time to take pics of the rides (in their updated form).

I am thinking of getting some winter tires for the red bike, but im not sure its worth the hassle atm.

After a series of mishaps, my road bike is all good to go. A week after I bought this bike, a careless driver backed his truck over it, bending my frame, tacoing my back wheel, snapping the rear axle in half and bending the derailleur. It took me 3 weeks to get it to where it is now, and I am slowly upgrading parts as I come across them. This bike gets ridden in if its not raining, and in the Santa Cruz mountains whenever I have the time:).

What do you guys think? |

My 6 year old Surly CC. It's lost a lot of its shine over the years, but it still rolls along quick and comfortable. :D

I have too many bikes so can't remember if I posted this already... this bike has the unique ability to keep it from raining as since I built it (for riding in the rain) it's been really dry.

My new commuter. I've been riding a Cannondale R700 road bike to work for several months. I do 32 miles round trip with some pretty big climbs. This bike should work for me in all seasons and all weather.

Packer fan?? =]

Nice, Siggurd.
Love seeing new tires on an old bike. |
I havent seen colored fenders yet, I definately like them!!
|
Fenders: it was either black or yellow (or Pink, god forbid)... yellow seemed like Hi-Vis
The accidental Packer motif (or ORegon Duck motif) was... accidental Perhaps I'll do a custom Lombardi logo I may go to a forward stem with drop bars... I'm just used to drops |
this is my first post. been lurking for a while. anyhow, here's my commuter. the hills in eastern washington are pretty killer, so i'm standing quite a bit.
