I had to drive around 1500km this past weekend in a rented mini-van. I don't own a car, so that's probably more distance than I've covered in a motor vehicle in the past 5 years.

Today, back home and on my way to work, there was rather torrential rain, but I was still so thankful to be back on the bike.

Thanks, I'll make sure to pass the compliment onto her!

My city is kinda shit for cycling, bike theft is pretty bad and there's a severe lack of cycling infrastructure. I always carry both the folding lock visible in the picture and a u-lock. It's also a rather large bike, anyone under 6 feet tall would struggle to ride away with it.

The cruiser bars allow for a really upright riding position, which I prefer for visibility purposes with how dangerously people drive here.

Despite being a bike dedicated to urban riding, she's been known to venture down the odd rural route or ATV trail.
