Bicycle Appreciation Thread!!!

I had a great bike in AZ that got me everywhere and was good to me; and I hate to admit, I bought it at Walmart! When I took it to a bike shop they had to disassemble and reassemble it correctly (big surprise), but other than that it was sturdy and reliable.
I haven't gotten a new bike since moving to CA and I couldn't bring my old one, but my husband is hinting in that one is in the future for my birthday....

 

Each spring, I look for the change in weather here in Boston such that the early morning temperature is above freezing. Then I start biking to work. That day is almost here!

 

My bicycle is my only transport. Luckily I can pretty much use it all year round. This is a picture of it in my sig

 

IMHO bicycles are our greatest mechanical acheivement, many times more efficient than walking, and they can carry a load along with the rider. They run on whatever food you have consumed, don't pollute the environment after being manufactured, and keep your body in shape. I ride as often as I can, and still enjoy it after 1,000's of miles spent riding many different bicycles over the years, some of which I have pictures of in my profile, so please visit and take a look at my stable of low cost rebuilt bicycles. Thanks for looking and have a GREAT day!

 

One more person addicted to the bike. Used to love going around on rollerblades, but I'm loyal only to my old friend now. Don't have a drivers licence, so yeah...

 

i can ride my bike with no handle bars

 

I'm not much of a bike enthusiast, but they do take it seriously in my town.

 

I got my bike for free, someone left it on the first floor where you walk in with a note on it that said "take me".

It's a mountain bike, I need a regular street bike but I lost the little tag that came with the bike lock with the combination on it.

Last bike lock I had the key broke off, and I had to cut through the cable with a pair of dikes, one strand at a time, and it was not that easy but I eventually got through it, but it hurt my hands for real!

I don't trust someone to not steal my bike if I don't take it into the store with me...., I guess I could try and make it look like it was locked up to a parking meter or something even tho its really not, then nobody would probably fuck with it. Nobody has realized yet that if you lift the bike up in the air you can lift it right off anyway

It's badass to have a bike too.
