Lets See Your Bikes!
 
I was just wondering what the 50+ year olds are riding on their journeys and travels these days - vintage or new, commuter or racer, touring or fixie, or maybe something else?

Here's mine, I just got her last week, a Miyata 1400A, all-aluminum model, down tube shifters and all! Makes me feel like a kid all over again! Life is good! -

Those bents are awesome. My bike is the red Defy in the photo, sometimes I ride my wife's trike, when she lets me.

At least I could ride yours in NYC. Those other ummmm, bikes, wouldn't stand a chance! Nice Felt!

Really interesting Blazing!

My bikes seem pedestrian compared to Blazing's

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Felts. Never owned one, but they sure look cool!

Giacomo 1 08-16-11 08:23 PM

Yes Jan, very pedestrian. Thats exactly what I was thinking...:twitchy:

You and Blazing Pedals are in the "something else" category for sure!:thumb:

Hi,

I thought one of these threads already existed. I don't have the time to look for it right now, but if I'm wrong I'll post later.

bjjoondo 08-16-11 08:24 PM

JanMM, LOL, my bikes seem tame to yours!

^ Most all the threads here already exist in one form or another. I don't think I'd go quite as far as Shakespeare, so I'll just say there's not much new under the sun.
