Style over Speed
Understated riding is style. In the vein of Tweed Cycling Club and Copenhagen Cycling Chic - here we can show love for the bicycle , and its affinity for steel, wool and leather, street shoes and comfy duds... share style over speed & enjoy.

Now tell us about your bicycles ...
they all work as long as I am pushing the pedals, otherwise they lounge about and get fat with smugness, like a pampered cat... ok ther's a couple of road bikes(Eddy & Blue), a hybrid(George), a trackie/fixie(Piste), a roadster/situpandbeg(Mahabarata) and a (work-in-progress) tourer)(ZEN-for zero emissions now)... I've gots heaps of spare bits , enough to build a few more treddlies just need some frames... so hardwaste cleanups are good for shopping for them...
basically as I'm a big lanky cuss, I need a frame a bit like a farm gate, high and long....and made grom gal water pipe (hah!!)... usually cant get thatof the rack so I need my frames made for me.
What is the best thing about riding?
Freedom , wind in your face, all at a near human pace... its a real trip
A few words about yourself. (This bit is entirely optional!)
a bit left of centre and a lot further out there than can be seen with the naked eye and when I'm on my bike(s), its usually somewhere mentioned here on this resource I posted :http://www.robbeke.com-a.googlepages.com/home2

The thin edge of the wedge is that should these pushes find favour and the use of separation become mandatory, riding on road will become impossible.

The potential to create three systems for personal mobility on a single roadway, ie: a dedi… Continue
