Here’s my “Mustang” :blush:

Thanks :wink:
Today was a great day. It got a bit hot toward the end—32ºC—but there was no wind, which is a rare treat. I’m lucky to live in a country where I can ride outdoors all year round.

Wishing you great rides and tailwinds! :blush:

304

Envy :wink:

305

I like your bike :slight_smile: what manufactor is that?

306

This is the Merida Silex 4000.
It’s just that the color and font of the name offended my sense of beauty, so I deleted the labels :rofl:
Then I changed the wheels…
Then I changed the tires…
Then I changed the saddle…
Then I changed the dropbar to flatbar and changed the “road” group to “mtb”…
Well, the rest is small stuff :joy: :joy: :joy:

307

ok, so it is a custom bike :smiley:

308

You could say that, probably. But now he’s “mine” and 100% for me :blush:

309

that’s the most important thing!

I have fought this inner fight with myself about the fact that I should really do spring (or summer…) maintenance and wash for my Jopo and get it ready for duty.

I used to cycle really much at one point of my life. I should really start doing it more once again because I really enjoy it.

But maybe after Midsummer… :sweat_smile:

311

Ride on! :flexed_biceps:

Do it now, you won’t regret it. Winter is coming … :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t know if I ever uploaded a photo of my pigeon on here. I mostly commute around town, but I also just go spin for fun as well. I ride a fixed gear so minimal cost and maintenance :gear:

I’ve thought about assembling a bike in a fixed gear many times… :thinking:
But, I drive on roads where 36 teeth in front and 42 teeth in the back are not always enough :hot_face:

315

That sounds like some serious hills :flushed_face:

316

For some, they are also light. But I’m talking about my physical fitness, my weight, my heart problems, and my age. I won’t say that “severe” climbs are frequent on my trips, but rather long ones. But even 500 meters from the house they are already present.

Makes sense

Got a new bike. A college sold me his old Canyon Grand Canyon :slight_smile:
Very happy with it. Only downside: My work has such bad bike racks that the bike felt down and now there is notch (didn’t know if that is the right word) on the fork :frowning:

Bought a new bike stand. This thing looks solid :slight_smile:

Finally washed my bike and did one hour trip today. Going to start cycle once every day. :flexed_biceps: :bicycle:

It is, I didn’t regret it :wink:

My bike “lives” in a hanging position :rofl:
