Bike Of The Week: 4-7-2011

Trusty steed waits in the rain...

Bike of The Week- March 11

It's been a challenging couple of weeks for the brave bicycle commuters and practical cyclists of Thurston County, with snow, ice, torrential rain and wind ushering in March like a roaring lion!

 I've seen quite a few bikers on the road through all of it though, and there have been a few breaks in the weather as a reward. Spring is coming soon- the equinox is less than two weeks away, and registration for the Bicycle Commuter Contest begins in less than a month! Ride on!

Bike of the Week

This is actually a rather historical bicycle- it is one of the bikes that helped popularize the 10-speed "racing" style bike in the US, fueling the bike boom of the late 1960's and early1970's. Schwinn introduced several features aimed at making this style of bike more appealing to the masses, including stem-mounted shifters and so-called "safety levers", the brake lever extensions that allowed braking from the top of the handlebar. This is a Super Sport model that was made from Chrome Moly tubes and came with alloy rims, stem and handlebars. A lightweight, at about 32 lbs.! This specimen seemed remarkably well-preserved for being over 40 years old- I hope the owner appreciates the historical importance of her/his bike!

Bike of the Week

Just keeping my eyes open on the way to work this morning,
I counted nine other bike commuters as I pedaled through town
on a chilly February morning. I like it!

A Typical Parisian Utility Bike, c.1970 (Bike of the Week- Jan. 28)

    So simple and elegant- how much more does one really need?
    Have a good weekend!
