What's your ratty commuter look like?

[Mingo]

Here's mine. I'm curious to see what you guys commute on.

i ride my jc higgins bike every day for about 12 miles to and from. . .well everywhere. its in the for sale section now, kinda thinking bout it now.

 

[Mingo]

Wow, man. Your commute is a lot prettier than mine. And I'm diggin your bike. Definitely a head turner.

Here's mine. I'm curious to see what you guys commute on.

Looks good!
What size are those tires? I like 'em.

Here's my '70's Fuji 1-speed (Charlie Tuna)

By the way, I used to live in Syracuse. You ever got out that way?

 

[Mingo]

Markm, I can dig the chrome.

Murray, I love your bike. and J5. I've been to the Carousel Mall a couple times, but I don't have a car right now so I only get around by bike anymore. I guess that's no excuse, but I don't have a proper road bike.

TwentyTwo, my tires are 26 x 1 3/8. nothing fancy, but I"m glad you like the bike. I love it.

depends on the weather...

 

[Mingo]

Skipton, all your bikes are nice. Especially the monster headlight on that blue bike. I'd kill for one. not really 'kill', but I want one.

 

[satellitebeach]

I was thinking the same thing about the big light on the blue bike. Is that a marine light or motorcycle light? Does it work? Seems like it would be miniature sun!

 

[pickle]

i put together this one as a fixed gear and commuted on it a few times (changed to pull back bars after first ride)

i ride this one to work the most

my commute to work is only 2 miles :lol:

 

[Mingo]

I love your red Schwinn. I really want a lugged frame like your blue one. Over the winter, when I start commuting on my Raliegh, I'm going to rebuild my current commuter.

 

[Von Stans]

same bike different variations but i have ridden this bike back and forth to work for 4 years at least.......

 

[Charles]

A Hawthorne repaint rides on for me. I cleaned it up, added some reflectors and got new red sparkle grips. Small front cog lets me climb hills w/ my coffee

 

[Mingo]

Von, I do the same. My commuter's been 3 different colors this year. My coworkers think I'm crazy. I like that banana seat, bro.

Charles, sometimes you just can't beat a classic. I want to build a new commuter this winter with new parts but when I think about it, I just want to re-purpose an old bike instead. I dig it.

 

[Cherryboxx]

here's mine mingo...wanted a fixie,but due to terrible drivers,
brakes are a must...

Opus Urbano

Electra Townie

Specialized Crossroads Deluxe

 

[Mingo]

Brakes are cool, Cherry. I live in a college town and when the students are gone for the summer, I ride with no breaks. But town gets so dense with traffic when they all come back, now I run a coaster brake. Are those metal brake lines? I like them a lot.

Comfortable rides for a beautiful view, Dan. Wish I had a commute like that.

 

[Buck Masterson]

My commuter. Nothing special, but gets me from point A to point B and allows me to carry most of what I need. I've pulled a full cooler, a tent, bag of clothes, and a tote full of supplies behind me. I really have a good time on this bike. Had a few run ins with cars, and I've replaced the handlebars because of it, thus the reason for so many lights and reflectors. I'm tired of getting ran into.

 

[Mingo]

I want to load up a trailer like yours with speakers. Wild speakers. You've given me so many terribly awesome ideas, hahaha if only I had a place to store it.
