Let's talk about bike's. Commuter, mountain, old school, etc
I was recently gifted a 91' diamond back override. Its a hybrid from right before they made a 'hybrid class'.I absolutely love the thing, its as old as I am and its good both on and off road. Since I got it I've been riding like crazy trying to get back into better shape and get ready for the snowboard season. Plus I've been using it to get around and save gas. Crazy fun here in Colorado.
So let's talk about your cool retro bikes, expensive roadies or rock climbing mountain bikes, or even biking experiences and close calls. Anything bike related is welcome! "Bike lane, bike lane!!"-spike from Portlandia

I sold my bike before I moved to my new spot... it was wearing me out anyhow.. mongoose full suspension 4 link think it was called ..big fat tires ...pain in the ass to pedal as suspension and tires seems to absorb the energy and you couldn't coast long... but smooth ass ride. and you could jump off anything you wanted with ease....looking for something with bigger thinner tires and simple I don't need so many damn gears and fancy shit...yeehaw

Ya fixies are simple. One gear BUT its not so easy. The pedals never stop moving unless you're sitting still. Apparently in one vid it said the pedals could throw you over the handlebars on a fixie.

I ride a Giant mtb. I took the dirt tires off and put smoothies on. I'm 67 and ride 10 miles a day, it keeps me in shape and thinking young. Don't stop riding!!
 I bought a Raliegh Compitition, in 1970, paid $220.00 for it. That was a lot of money then I had just gotten out of the army, it was Compagnolo equiped, both derailors and forks. It was a great bike once you got used to the Brooks leather saddle, they didn't have padded shorts then either. Rode the hell out of that bike,lived in Hawaii then sold itvwehen I moved to Idaho in 73, wish I still had it.

I grew up riding a bike carrying the boston globe with a shoulder bag and three baskets..two in back one in front.. ... sundays were a bitch..my biking skills have remained since I was a kid.. I was thinking just a few gears.. think my last had like 21 or some shit.. thumb switches.. looking to even out my kayaking upper body routine..even though my legs get workout being used as stabilizers on sides of yak as they are locked in...yeehaw

I've got an early 90s GT All Terra mtb. No shocks, I've thought about adding a fork. Not a lot of opportunities nearby here but hope to be riding it more soon, in different digs. I'm mostly a runner, but recent MCL problems have me thinking about cycling again, at least for variety.

In April I got myself one of these:
 It's a German bike, moderately priced, but well made and assembled for sure. I use it for going from A to B; sometimes I ride it to work (10 miles each way), and for 'recreational exercise' - just going out for a ride. Here in Scandinavia, the weather isn't always welcoming, but I try to get out as much as possible. |
