I know there's some TreeHousers out there that do some cycling from time to time and I thought it'd be interesting to see some bikes and hear some stories.
I got into bicycling some years ago due to various reasons and the habit just kinda' stuck with me. After a while, people were bringing me bikes to repair or just giving me bikes that were decaying in their yards. Before I knew it I had maybe 100. Well, due to a budget crisis, the shop space I had no longer exists, so, I ended up donating a lot of them to various causes and folks in need of a transport. Now, I'm down to about 15 bikes. But alas, they keep arriving or returning to me.
Here's a couple of the latest additions to my bicycle herd.
Haven't done any real research on the Peugeot - from what I can tell by parts, maybe an 85-86'? Took me a couple days to dial in how it rides; feels like riding a maroon coat hanger! It's a nice bike for old steel, though.
Also got a 77-79? Schwinn cruiser - Weighs about 200 lbs. Sort of a peicer but it's kinda' stylin' riding in town.
