Bicycle Family: Part Two

Well, one move and several more months into the pregnancy, and I have finally found the time to post the second half of the bicycle family.  Here they are, in no particular order.  This first amazing bike is called Jazzy Rojo.  My Associate and I had discussed for a long time the possibility of getting a bicycle we could ride together, but I was resistant because of a bad experience on such a vehicle many years ago.  We finally took the plunge, and I am happy to say we have made nothing but fond memories on Jazzy.  (The big secret about Jazzy is that she is from Walmart.  Yes, the evil empire.  The brand is Kent and I am not sure if there is a model name, or even what type of components she has.  Eek.  There, I said it.)

The next bicycle in the lineup belongs to my Associate.  I don't believe he has named it yet, because although he loves it, it is a bit too small, and honestly, I think he is trying not to get too attached...just in case.  He wanted a classic Raleigh road bike in a traditional color, and he got just that.  He went through a period of riding it a lot to work, but these days it spends more time hanging around than on the open road.

Lastly, we have my Associate's road bike, the Lamborghini.  He purchased it used on Craigslist, which is always a gamble, but it was love at first ride.  I have seen him make some impressive climbs on this flashy number.

And for now, there you have them.

There are a couple of exciting projects in the works.  For starters, I bought a new chain for the Motobecane today, and I am hoping to put it on the bike tomorrow.  I think I have also settled upon a saddle to purchase for it.  More on that later.

My Associate is also hard at work on restoring a cruiser, which isn't quite far along enough to join the bicycle family yet, but it should make a debut one of these days.

Lastly, we are in the formative stages of a bicycling society.  This is a grand undertaking.  I will definitely reveal some important information about this undertaking in the next few weeks.
