I had to drive around 1500km this past weekend in a rented mini-van. I don’t own a car, so that’s probably more distance than I’ve covered in a motor vehicle in the past 5 years.
Today, back home and on my way to work, there was rather torrential rain, but I was still so thankful to be back on the bike.
Beautiful machine. Looks theft-resistant and really comfortable. :D
Thanks, I’ll make sure to pass the compliment onto her!
My city is kinda shit for cycling, bike theft is pretty bad and there’s a severe lack of cycling infrastructure. I always carry both the folding lock visible in the picture and a u-lock. It’s also a rather large bike, anyone under 6 feet tall would struggle to ride away with it.
The cruiser bars allow for a really upright riding position, which I prefer for visibility purposes with how dangerously people drive here.
Despite being a bike dedicated to urban riding, she’s been known to venture down the odd rural route or ATV trail.
