Nice to see such a variety of bikes here. I especially like the cargo bikes.
I thought you might like to see these.

My uber commuter:

A 90s MTB makes a versatile enjoyable machine for city use. It's a traffic beater and a trailer hauler.

The MTB:

Sadly not used nearly enough.

The fixed wheel:

Fun and practical when I just want to get quickly from A to B.

The tandem:

Presently being used on a daily commute, dropping my partner at work and picking her up. It's a lot of fun and adds a complete new dimension to cycling.

In need of quite a bit of TLC.
 
What a nice collection. Love the fixer, very clean.

Now all you need are a couple of recumbents, a road bike, a tourer, a folder, a cruiser.......

A trike(non recumbent) a unicycle and a quadricycle too, plus a trailer.
 
I know where that Raleigh Shopper came from!

I was bidding too, but £40 got too rich for my money. I thought it would be a little project for the winter and give the missus something to get to the gym on.

I like the Trek Soho, I fancy one of those myself.

Nice collection.


Some low life helped themselves to that. It were a very harsh ride, but a nice urban bike non-the-less.

ooh carbon fixie? *drool*

Time to update this thread a little:

The folder, with which I'm not overly impressed but it serves a purpose and has been used extensively:

His and hers:
007.jpg

The foreground one is mine which is a 63" fixed sporting nice wide schwalbe marathons I obtained from Spa Cycles on offer. I rode it Manchester to Barnsley and I have to say it's an ideal gear for heading over Woodhead Pass with luggage. I'll have to see if my legs are strong enough to ride it over the Snake Pass next.

The background one is my significant others. The short reach is ideal for her womanly dimensions. It is a 63" single speed sporting some nice skinny fast gator skins. My SO is now expecting, but prior to that her aim everday was hitting 20 mph on the beasty en route to her work.

Finally (for now) there is this:

I got it rideable today ('singlespeed'/rear brakes only) and gave some of the local kids a few joy rides before taking my other half to the park. It's certainly a nice relaxed way of getting around. I really like it. It needs some light renovation. I'm hoping to get it sorted for the end of the summer, but realistically I accept it might be next year.

There's also an old Carerra in the shed which I was going to strip and sell in bits, however if I get a job in the city then it maybe become my commuter/hack. And there's a carbon fibre beasty living upstairs which I haven't photographed yet.

So all in all, I have 7 bikes and 1 HPV. I dare say something will give soon.
