I am amazed that there are people out there in this day and age that never learned to ride a bike. I do run into people, occasionally, who never learned to swim though.

About 120 of the students will continue to work throughout the school year in various internships, including Alta Bicycle Share, where 20 students will be hired to work as Divvy bike share mechanics and system rebalancers.

I don't understand the cottered crank and a quill stem on a bike with disc brakes. It's a Schwinn frame. There are no cables along the top bar so the bike has to have a rear disc brake. I can't see any decals...was this a custom job?

Rahm's bike looks pretty legit in this picture. Can anyone tell what he's riding?

It's not a cottered crank. It is a square-taper that is styled and shaped like a cottered crank for that "look."
If you zoom up on the photo you can see that while it looks like a cottered crank there is, in fact, no cotter pin there.

You don't need a cable on the top tube to have a disc brake, in fact there is a cable running along the chain stay on the left side of the bike so a disc, drum or roller brake is very likely. It also has an american bottom bracket adapted to a BSA which makes me think it is a rebuilt Chicago Schwinn.

Indeed...a roller brake sounds likely....I think we're on the right track! So it's a rebuild with a new front fork. I wonder where Rahm has been shopping?

Solange Knowles and her husband riding bikes to their ceremony. They look gorgeous, but seeing the second picture of them standing next to the bike it's obvious that the saddle is way too low. Also looks like his bike got a front flat.
