really cool

This shot is becoming traditional: My loaded touring bike in Philadelphia 30th Street Station. This is the second bike I've taken this exact shot with; the last one was hit by a car.

Cornering slowly, but yeah, it's not a perfect solution but the bike behaves so much better like that. I'm getting slightly larger rear bags and smaller front bags sometime before the next trip I think.

Matching saddle, bar tape, and panniers - awesome.

Mine

My girlfriends

My girlfriend has the sleeping mats, lock, and one look a like pannier that is actually the bike bag we put both our bike in for the flight. (What do you guys do with your bike bags other than getting a hotel for the first night)
I have tent, cooking stuff, my sleeping bag, toiletries tools, towels, and some of both our cloths in two pannier. We both had small ruck sacks too but 18 L (hers) and about 20 L mine. Total weight of both panniers was about 14.5 kg by the airport scales (2.2 lb to a kg).
Last minuet trip so took the bike that I had running which was a old fixed wheel convention, well used for commuting, bought a new cog and ran it at about 65 G.I. No problem as the area we where was very flat. I have a geared ridged MTB I am converting but it was in too sorry a state to take.
Gilr's is a fully rigid mbt. Perfect for the job.
