2018 Greenspeed Judd
Single Speed Road bike |
Description: Got a folder for travel and general fun. She will be called Francine Greene and is actually from Critical Cycles, but Greenspeed seems appropriate! Original gearing is 48x16. Tried a 14 but that took some quick and nimble away, so I went with a 15 for best rideability. Added fenders early May!

1989 Nashbar Race SIS
Road bike |
Description: I was in the market for a new bike in 2011, 8 weeks before a scheduled century ride for charity. The bottom bracket shell cracked on the old Centurion. I was lucky enough to find this at the LBS, and with wheel change, I was down the road. It's all Shimano 600 ceramic! I like the color; a very masculine shade of Snap Dragon Red!

Ways to connect:
Sorry I just got this Kapn. I've been interstate for about 5 weeks. To answer your question, I always carefully pick the roads I ride on. Unfortunately, where I live has an unfortunate culture of road rage & bullying. If I can anticipate a problem, I ride defensively & let the driver (bully) have way. I was just unlucky I guess. Got back on the bike 3 days ago (yeah!). A bit twitchy with cars, but that'll pass. Be safe out there & take care. Petitepower.
