Just an inexpensive Schwinn mountain bike with a padded seat, front fork suspension, and seat suspension. For what it is, it has given me great service. I do a little riding around town on back streets and the local trails, plus I take it the the Bruce Peninsula for gravel roads, the Bruce Trail, and other trails. If it was stolen like my previous bike it wouldn't be the end of the world but I have grown to kinda of dig it anyway. In the summer I ride a great deal, in spring and fall a little less, and never in the winter.

Peace, Mooh.

The Schwinn, because it's fun to say the word Schwinn.

Schwinn.

Bought a used Norco last year to keep at the cottage so I don't have to carry the Schwinn back and forth. Plan to get the Schwinn out tomorrow.

do you guys wear helmets?

Sometimes.

I wouldn’t ride in town without my helmet, or on most trails, but sometimes I forego it if I’m just puttering down the gravel cottage road when it’s quiet. About 30 years ago a kid was hit by a car just a few houses down the street from where I lived. I don’t know if a helmet would have saved him, but it wouldn’t have hurt. The child ran a two way stop sign and was hit by a car that had the right of way and no stop sign.

The aforementioned used Norco I bought for the cottage so that I wasn’t always lugging a bike everywhere has worked out well. Convenient and reliable, I wasn’t going to spend any money on it until I was reasonably sure that I’d keep it. After my ride yesterday I pretty much decided that I’d give it a good overhaul. New and better tires, the wheels need a slight tweak for wobble, racks, and lights will probably do it. I’ll take it to the bike shop for some of the work and do some myself.

I put my home bike in the shed last week to prevent theft when I was away for a day and haven’t ridden it since. Maybe I better keep it out so that I ride it more.
