Show Me Your Bicycles
 
Here's my current main bike:

It's practical but also the most fun I've had on two wheels since I was 7 or 8 riding my Mongoose BMX. I no longer have it but this is the model:

I've got more but show me yours first.

Fun fact: jockstraps were originally made to protect the testicles of Bike JOCKeys who rode those monstrosities over cobblestone. That's where the famous jockstrap company, Bike, got its name.

Anyway, so... nobody has any real bicycles?

I have a 2009 SE Lager. It's light, low maintenance and too expensive for a road bike. It's survived some pretty nasty wrecks. I guess I have too.

i love the look of beach cruisers :)

swim....what do you mean by "too expensive for a road bike"?

anyways....MANY pictures of my baby....a very expensive road bike

the specs :)

early 90s hand welded Ron Cooper frame and forks
Cinelli Centurion drop bars
Cinelli quill stem
hand spoked DT Swiss deep v rims with double butted spokes
Shimano Ultegra SL prototype group....originally owned by Greg LeMond

the only difference now from when i took these pics (right after he was built....somewhere in 2009)....is the pedals....i've since started liking egg-beaters

I meant to say not too expensive. It's a lot of bike for 250-300

Nice. BMX inspired single-speed road bikes are my favorite thing right now. I figured you meant "not" too expensive.. so it's cool that it has survived wrecks. I love bikes that can take a beating. In fact, I don't feel all that comfortable riding in traffic unless I'm on a bike that I know won't break if I'm in a minor collision with a car. Also, I prefer to be able to ride on gravel and dirt and hop curbs and such.

Good to see a beach cruiser actually being used to cruise to the beach. :)

Very, very nice. Is this the bike that you mentioned "saving from a kid who wanted to turn it into a fixie" a while back?

I'll dig up some pictures of my road bike (an Eddie Merckx Century TSX circa 1990) and show them next.

i never learned how to ride a bike :(

i have a rusty purple one in my basement if that counts. it has training wheels and glitter and all. i haven''t seen it since i was seven. Now whenever i try to ride a bike it's either to big or i fall off.

Never too late to learn! It's so much fun.

My bike got stolen, right out of my own damn yard. So now I don't have one anymore. Here's hoping for a Christmas miracle...

I wish I had my own bike but I have to use my dads when I'm at my folks.
