Whenever I see a bike, I look at the back wheel and lose interest immediately if it doesn't have at least a SA 3 speed. I can walk into a bikeshop and, if there isn't at least one hubgeared bike, come out feeling disappointed. Seeing a fully loaded Dutch town bike (hubgears, dynamo light, rack, Brooks, fenders, basket) gives me a buzz & reminds me most what I like about town bikes & biking.<br /><br />MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467858377106451384.post-90216562130485336942011-10-15T18:04:39.331-04:002011-10-15T18:04:39.331-04:00When in your car you find yourself driving in the ...When in your car you find yourself driving in the bike lane and your first thought is not, "OMG I'm in the bike lane!" but, "why doesn't this bike fit between the lines?" :s bNanseikanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776967115069837945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467858377106451384.post-21124407338144214602011-10-14T04:06:49.132-04:002011-10-14T04:06:49.132-04:00-When you have a bell mounted on the steering whee...-When you have a bell mounted on the steering wheel of your car. <br /><br />-Your house is decorated with bike art.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467858377106451384.post-30085190422862890682011-10-13T09:21:37.153-04:002011-10-13T09:21:37.153-04:00Liz said, "When you try to drive your car up...Liz said, "When you try to drive your car up a sidewalk ramp that you normally ride your bike up.
