Cycling - post your rides

[ahtoxa]

Seems like there's a few cyclists here on the boards, based on the bike rack threads.

Post your rigs, whether it's MTB, BMX, cyclocross, whatever. Let's seem them and talk about them!

Here's an obligatory "leaning against something in the house" shot. I'll try to find some in the field shots, but I usually ride alone and selfies don't work well going through a tech spot.



2008 Giant Trance1. X9 shifters and rear der. XT front. Some raceface stuff, etc. Just recently overhauled the entire drivetrain - new chain, BB, rear cassette, front middle chainring. Upgraded and overhauled the front brake. Fork and rear shock were rebuilt about 2 seasons ago.

I've been thinking about going away from the 26er and going with a 29er but I have a hard time getting rid of this bike only to spend $3,000 just to get same level components and larger wheels. For that kind of money, I'll ride my 26er for a little while longer. It's an old and trusted steed that takes a hell of a beating when I'm out.

EDIT: Found a field shot.

Here's mine.

Unfortunately I have relocated to western Kansas. There is literally nowhere to ride a MTB except the roads. I Hate riding roads..... :blankface:

 

[ahtoxa]

Yeah, riding next to people so oblivious on the road scares me. I'm much more comfortable bombing through rock gardens, personally.

2002 Trek 4300. Many years of use and abuse. Will probably replace it in the spring with a 29".

I have a 2005 Jamis Dakar XC comp,

my 1996 Gary Fisher Paragon,

and the 2004 Cannondale CAAD8 road bike.

I'll come back and post here when I get a pic of my new bike in the spring!

I want a road bike, but don't want to deal with drivers. I'd rather crash through the rock gardens on my MTB

I've had a few close calls, but there are also paths. I usually only stay on the road long enough to get to the paths... They are all over houston and should be all over DFW too

When I was in Austin, I was glad to see wide bike lanes in a lot of places. Portland, OR is by FAR the best bike-friendly city/town I've ever been to; the bike lanes are everywhere.

In Dallas - not so much, at least not where I live (Coppell area). I've wanted to bike to work for a while, but in my 4 miles to work I have to traverse narrow roads with no shoulders or even sidewalks and use an underpass to get across the highway. Not bike friendly at all.

I have like 6 or 7 bikes - I forget.

Mongoose old school MTB & Monty Trials:

Sh!tty pic of my Dekerf SS:

Who has a bike rack for the sonic hatch

[ahtoxa]

I've a hitch rack as well, but don't have any pictures. I use a hidden hitch and swagman xc2 rack.

I have the gm roof rack. Wished I had something that kept the bikes out of the bugs like you guise!
