Oh, lets see some pics please.

Absolutely! The new bike lanes and sharrows around the city are a huge improvement.

Very nice! I like those bars, what are they? Thinking about experimenting with a more upright/townie like riding position soon. I'll have to take some pics tonight after work or maybe this weekend. I don't really have anything worth posting at the moment.

Those bar are what was originally used on bikes with rod brakes. The brake levers, return springs and pivots are all integrated into the handlebar.

The one on the right is dope af. Except for the weird, useless half fender in the rear.

From last night's ride.

Can we talk about the bar/brake lever set up on the bike with fenders?

Seems an interesting frame choice for a townie. Retro crank too?

The front brake is set up correctly, no? I don't see the issue there.

One other question in terms of safety--is the carbon fork capable of handling a rack like that? Or is most of the weight being placed on the front axel? I only ask because usually when people put baskets/racks on high end track bikes, the basket is attached to the front axel and the handlebars, as opposed to the axel and the fork crown like we see here.

It's definitely a weird townie choice, but also one that I can wholeheartedly get behind. Despite any shortcomings the build might have.

I think he is talking about the decision to use a bar-end lever with those bars.

nagromorton had reverse levers on his track bars way back when, and ive seen lots of them on townie bars. VO sells retro style ones too

Where is that gem?

Albany Bulb. Really amazing place, very tranquil, with lots of burning man style art just lying around. Right on the edge of the bay, with some fun little trails around it all.

I took a cool video too of one of my favorite pieces of art right before sunset, wonder if embedding if here works:
