The bicycle thread.

Here's somewhere for all the awesome and not so awesome bicycle and cycling stuff to go.

I'll start it off with an insane ride down a glacier by an Aussie. (WARNING: extremely strong language!)

Yeah, we've got a few too here in Holland.

There's not so many in Sydney as we have lots of hills. Some of the flatter cities have quite a few though.

Saw a pure white one t'other day.

Probably not very long. Most bike chains I see are a kind of rusty red colour.

I should of never sold my Giant XTC NRS Air. Riding that bike in Singapore was fun.

 

[Revenant Ghost]

Not that many bicycles where I live. Too many people like their cars. :/

 

[Rxpert83]

Minneapolis is huge on biking.

 

[Codegerm]

We have a fair amount of bicycles where I live, thanks to living in a college town..

Amsterdam has many bikes. That many, we also use flat boats, like this red one, in the canals to park them on.

 

[mikedt]

Oxford always seems to have a lot of bikes.

I76 in Colorado used to have a bicycle lane. For those not familiar it's an interstate with a speed limit of 75mph.

Also on I 25 north of Denver there is a sign that says, "Bicycles keep far right".

I ride a Specialized FSR. Coming from racing hare scrambles it's similar but the bike lacks a motor to pull me out of trouble.

I ride a Trek 820, its fun to ride.

My husband used to ride his bike everyday to work and home again (about 40 miles a day round trip), and then one day he was literally run over by a truck that just kept on going. Needless to say, his bike was totalled, and his shoulder and knee were badly mangled, but God is good and he made a full recovery.
Only stationary bikes for us now.

I have a carbon Cannondale Synapse, It's a very nice bike. I've done many 100+ mile runs on it. Frame is extremely solid and comfortable. I ran ito bmx bike once, I went over the bars, but bike is completely like new. On my previous bike I had a minor accidents. One women hit me while she was making a right turn without turn signal. Another one was some ****head was opening the car door. He scraped my right arm. I glad that i can maintain 20 something mph, so cars treat me with a little more respect, but most don't. I hope one day I'm not going to get off my bike and send some smart*** into ER.

Do any of your guys clean your chain, or do anything maintenance related?

 

[Kaat72]

Repare a tire or replace a light bulb now and then.
