For every cosseted Yo Eddy hung in someone's living room there are probably 100s of similar bikes getting used day in day out. Maybe some are ridden 'properly', maybe some are ridden to work or college. Maybe the owner knows his or her bike has retro interest, maybe they don't care.
Just because they get a hammering doesn't mean the owners don't care for them - after all a bike is for riding.
So let's see some examples. I ride my 91 Stumpy regularly, both on the trails and as a commuter. I see a lot of reader's rides also see regular action. Elev posted a number of examples of Fat Chance commuters a while back on FatCogs but the links are busted....
