<p>Prized bike is an early 1980s Trek originally bought and owned by my Grandfather. All components are as he rode it. It still rides like a dream and is such a fun bike. I have the exact details somewhere but I can't track them down right now.</p>

<p>The first "nice" bike I ever purchased was this 2002 LeMond Buenos Aires. It started out as my road bike, became a triathlon bike, then a commuter bike (the pic below must have meant commuting with a triathlon in the near future), and now it's back to road bike/bikepacking duty.</p>

<p>Kid Hauler and around town cargo bike is a base Yuba Mundo. It's a beast. I'm not one to want an electric assist for biking, but I'm seriously considering it for the Mundo.</p>

<p>365-day commuter and beater is a super cheap 2015 Nashbar Cross SS. Similar geometry to a Surly Crosscheck. Nice to not have to worry about it being stolen. (I've had bikes stolen and it sucks, and it'd suck to have this beater stolen too, but only emotionally.)</p>

<p>Here's a new addition. New to me. Will turn into an urban single speed commuter.</p>
