Pictures of your Bike

So, I figured that no bicycle forum would be complete without pictures of bikes! Post your photos here, no bike will be refused: Road TT Triathlon Cyclocross MTB BMX Shixie Fixie And anything else! Lovely bikes lovely, but everyday bikes interesting too. I won't post first, but I'm taking pictures right now.  1 I wanna see what bikes you're all riding!

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

What I like best about this thread is the number of bikes on a website for roadies that aren't road bikes.

Wait, this site is for roadies? I've never even owned a road bike. What am I doing here?

That's so cool.  Roughly, what's the process for doing it?

The process was really simple. Just sprayed it white and drew on it with a permanent marker. And then got a very thick lacquer put on it to protect it. It looked like glass when it was done!

The process was simple but the actual drawing was quite difficult. Drawing cubes on a round frame was really hard! Also at the beginning had lots of problems with smudging so had to clean/redo a lot of parts, that nearly finished me off no

I'm hardly going to post my bike (hi, thieves, come on in) but here's my favourite cake at the local cake stop. Mmm...

Most people get round that by not, um, posting their address along with the picture...

Here's my commuter.
[...] Oh, and replaced the Gates CDN belt with a CDX model (the rear sprocket and belt both failed, Gates sent me the upgrade under warranty).

Yours doesn't seem to have got out much judging by the plants. +1 for the practical accessories - IGH, rack, mudguards. I'd love something like that for day-to-day trips! Currently use 1980s Dawes Galaxy (with dynamo hub) simply because it's indestructable and tatty so not worried about dings / attracting attention.

Still not sold on belt drive but for urban use, if it stays cleaner than a chain maybe? It's the whole "perfect until it suddenly fails" / "brand lock-in" worries.

Hi guys. New here. 
Took up cycling to get fit and ended up falling in love around 5 years ago.

Started on a giant rapid. Ended up buying a defy. Sold them both and after 2 months I missed it so much I ended up looking for another and found this gem.

i understand it isn't latest model. But it was seriously too good a price to not buy.

 

I have rode the ass out of it in the few months I have had it.

Up in the Sierra Nevada, Spain, where I live. Some terrific roads out here. It's only a humble B'TWIN but it gets me where I want to go.

A few more miles on my 'best bike' I found this NHS tribute mural on the wall of a pub, which is funny, because it used to have a very different meaning.

Hey, new here, I guess I've been a road cyclist for years but the pandemic forced me to really enjoy it and I think i may be becoming more Roadie than MTB. This is my current fleet.

I miss the days when this was the pinnacle!! She was like a part of me. I guess not much has changed in reality, but there seems to be much more hype and misinformation around these days. Maybe I'm just getting old!

This is "Rosinante", my Giant Contend SL2 Disc in full day touring trim (and newly booted for winter with Conti GP4S). Neither of us are anything special, but we have fun together. Anyone seen any windmills to tilt at?

On the tail end of quarantine due to catching COVID-19. I gave it a good wash, touched up the black bits, and new seasonally appropriate bar tape.

Given all the recent articles about cycling goalkeeper, Ben Foster, I thought I'd post a picture of me, my bike and another ex-Premier League goalkeeper.
