Gear!

This is my bike. Born in the 80's, it survived three cars and ten years with me. 

One sunny morning years ago, I rolled it out of my apartment for a ride over GW Bridge and a girl stopped and said 'That's a beautiful bike! Have fun with your beautiful bike.' And while she said this without a trace of irony (so I thought), I am sure she looked right through me: This was a dude with his dude gear.

The bike has now become daddy gear: Mudguards, lights, battlescars and all. Damn sexy still, but a relic.
