Curiosity prompted a few readers to inquire about the bike that takes me to work every day. As stated before, the bike is a
Redline 925. There are a few changes I made from the factory specifications as well as a few accessories I've added since I bought the bike. They are:
- Riser bars instead of the stock bullhorns
- Oury grips
- Forte Shovel pedals w/ reflectors
- Water bottle cage
- Removed chain guard
- Jannd Mountain Wedge II saddle bag (for spare tube, levers, patch kit, carmex, change, etc.)
- Electra Amsterdam bell
- Mini Mag Lite with Nite Ize strap, LED conversion kit, and rear push-button cap
- Zefal HP x3 frame pump
- rear rack
- Planet Bike Blinky SuperFlash tail light
Not shown:
- helmet (safety first!)
- vintage Aladdin lunchbox from eBay
I highly recommend commuting to work via a bicycle, I have become addicted. It's a great way to kick off the day and beats trying to set aside time to exercise. Biking is a great hobby, the hardest part for me to get into it was the one-time cost of a nice bike. The last couple mornings I rode to work were in the 20s but I'm still going. We'll see if I will be able to endure the snow here in a few weeks.
