    Do you own/ride a bicycle ??

    Haven't owned one in years but thinking about getting one this weekend. Let's just say i'm inspired by the Triathlon.

    I figure this will keep my attention more than just running. Let's see how long it lasts. Pity our Summer will be over soon though.

    Do you cycle ??

      I do in Spain but not in here in London - Too scary...

      You will be surprised how useful it is - Nipping out to get milk, post a letter that sort of thing.....

              Yea. Got 3 MTB's. Two full suspension (Specialized Enduro and Ghost RT7500) and one hardtail (Ghost). Used to ride Downhill but too many injuries. Now I just do cross country
              But.... I pulled out...

                      you get what you pay for, figured that out once i got into triathlons. its expensive, but if you want something good, its really reflective of the equipment

                          I have been racing MTB ( XC) for the last 8 years.

                          This is the bike I ride for this season.

                          27.5 wheels are a lot of fun

                              Yeah i hate jumping into the car for things like that. It's too far to walk every time, but not far enough to justify a car journey...

                                  I got back into biking last year; Seems they call it "cycling" now. I ride pretty much every day, including seven miles this morning.

                                  My bike is a Fuji....

                                      The wife and I have mountain bikes, we hit the trails around the house every so often but I haven't used it yet this year. I have slow punctures in both wheels, I really should repair them. We also use them to cycle to the pub for beers on Saturday afternoons, means we can have a few drinks and sit in the sun.

                                                      on the flip side you can save a lot of money buying a model that is a couple years past or even a used one, plenty of people drop out of it or upgrade so deals to be found everywhere.

                                                      I don't have a full carbon wind tunnel special but i have a solid trek 1500 that is light enough for me.

                                                          My bike I posted above is made with all name-brand components- wheels, tires, hubs, chain, brake, stem, bars, everything. total weight = 19 pounds. total cost = $185

                                                              I was just talking yesterday ,that I am thinking about buying a bike. I can't remember when it was list time I was driving it, probably back in 1983 after BMX bandits. I would like to replace car, for short distances, because of health. But I don't know anything about bikes and what I should buy.

I should start riding again; it's a great workout and it's really convenient since I have a bike trail a few blocks from my place. I'm more into the night rides!

                                                                                                  Riding for over 20 years keeps me fit and healthy and it's the only sport where every ride is just as fun as the first day I went, there's nothing like it. Here in BC is mountain biking is amazing.

I get the job done with a single speed and don't waste money on bullshit that is completely unneeded. Disc brakes, shock absorbers. Logoed spandex. Most people buy way too much bike for their purpose and you think a single speed bike as a grocery grabber is inefficient.

                                                                                                                                      Did you put it together yourself or have it assembled? I have not worked on many bikes but am pretty mechanical. Just wondering how much extra that would run. My wife just got a bike and wants me to tool around town with her. Down to the beach etc. This would be perfect!

I originally looked at https://www.missionbicycle.com but those are very expensive. I then found http://www.republicbike.com at $399. The sites you pointed out are quite a bit cheaper still. I guess you can get up a pretty good speed in a fixed gear bike around the city?

I originally looked at https://www.missionbicycle.com but those are very expensive. I then found http://www.republicbike.com at $399. The sites you pointed out are quite a bit cheaper still. I guess you can get up a pretty good speed in a fixed gear bike around the city?
                                                                                                                                                                  retrospec bicycles also, I should have included them initially and totally forgot about them.

                                                                                                                                                                  yeah, peeps can flat out haul on a single speed. I see them in DTLA all the time. I like the choice of gearing mine came with, terrific acceleration for me without burning my legs up and a good cadence when trying to maintain a high speed. I would think 15+mph is easily achieved on one. I was also initally concerned about just 1 brake, but the brake is very grippy and hasn't let me down yet.

Great place to pick up a bike is http://www.bikesdirect.com/ Then simply have your local bike shop put it together for you.

I can easily keep it at a constant 22km/hr without wasting a whole bunch of energy. I've been regularly riding about 20km a day and at least 2x a week 35k.

                                                                                                                                                                                          I can say, however, the difference of riding in the states vs. the Netherlands is night and day. I fucking love the dedicated bike paths through the country and rarely having to share with cars. I don't feel like I'm putting my life on the line like in the states.
