I think there are more car fans here but i'm more the cycle guy. Maybe because it's less expensive but also because it's a good sport and makes lot of fun. So which cycle are you riding - share your opinions and pictures. I'll start with mine: My usual bike for daily use is a "Kona Dew". A great bike in my opinion and a very cool cross-country/trecking hybrid. It has 28" wheels so it's fast and responsive but also has enough resources to go offroad and climb a hill. Downside is that it's rather expensive for it's components. It also has a standard steel fork but i rather enjoy it - don't like that crappy suspension shit you'll get on low or mid-price bikes. Here's a link for my bike: http://konaeurope.com/shopping_cart/FrontEnd/Products/product_detail.aspx?productid=346&parentid=253 For sports i'm doing Street Racing - just for fun and to keep shape. I've ridden a Pinarello steel frame with Shimano 105 components and was rather pleased. But as i tend to drive more short distances (40-80 km.) in high speed i decided to buy a new + fast bike. Here's what i got: A "Pearl Kona" - very fine italian frame and a hybrid of Triathlon + Race bike. Large 28" wheels and Race bike geometry but with the aero look and performance of a Triathlon bike. This one kicks ass! I've it with just a 105 Shimano again but it perfectly fits my needs. As wheels i've a front Spinergy Rev X. and a Mavic Cosmic Carbone in the back. Here's also a link for the Pearl bike: http://www.pearl-bikes.com/main.php?lang=en&id=framesTriathlonKona
I got one branded GT (not really mine, borrowing it from my brother). I think it's called Terra or something like that. and it got a flat tire.. so I don't really use it now - might take a picture of it tomorrow - I also got a BMX.. thought I left it at home at my parents house.. and from what I've heard my little brother is using it now instead.
I have a Trek. I forgot the number. I ride it to work every day. Coincidentally, I only drive a few times a week.
this is nearly the bike i use to work only i have different rims with only 3 spikes instead of the whole tire (roughly translated 3 star rims from germany why by bike ? cause on it i need 4 mins to work friend of mine drives nearly the same way with car and needs maybe a minute less cause he has to to park out of his backyard =)
Well ROI you are in Holland and they are standard issue aren`t they ;-) Haven`t used it in a while when I used to cycle into central London every day for 4ish years A Cannondale racing bike, with oversize frame
Yeah, that too. It's more dangerous on a bike though. Seriously, for a good laugh at someone elses misfortunes, look up how many people (including pedestrians) are killed in Hawaii every year. It's unbelievable.
