Whats your work horse, daily, go to, get around bike

This gets way more use than I expected... It's a bomb-proof Dutch sofa... Cost 50 quid and is a hoot to ride.

It is a great cruiser - single speed, coaster brake, 2 inch wide tyres with an upright riding position. Very simple bike, no cables. Flies along and has a large carrying capacity.

Orbea Arama Travel. The alloy frame, which is the only original bit left, is about 20 years old.
It's quite a heavy bike but is surprisingly fast. I've got 7kg race bikes that feel sluggish in comparison. Maybe it's just familiarity.

'Fraid theres nothing retro or specifically cool about my daily rider.
It basically gets me about, I pick up the shopping 3 days a week from the local supermarket, visit relatives and in the better weather go a little further afield.

Pretty much any bike I own. But in foul weather, Raleigh Randonneur, Carrera Tanneri, Pashley Post bike, Raleigh Dune Dancer, Raleigh R200.

Fantastic bikes folks, really good to see non gimmicky just practical bikes that work for you.
Liking that colour on the Rudy Project Jonny69.

@stevet1 "how do you find the juin tech brake caliper?"

Out of all the others on offer this looked the best match for my DX levers, as I
just took a gamble and had no idea at the time. So far am liking them, now bedded in
with a better matching rotor in 180mm I can get them to lock up or just feather them as needed.

My only gripe though this can apply to other calipers, is lack of spare parts if any and the
corrosion rust, have run them for 1yr and signs of surface corrosion on the caliper half bolts,
on one of the pistons due to rust on the brake pad backing plate, not drastic but perhaps
to keep them working long term some efforts to mitigate such.

These two do most of my riding duties.

Rudy Project mtb is early 90s with 9-speed X0 and DX brakes.

XB3 Спорт is a Soviet track bike from about 1984-1987.

Love the hvz

Thanks! I've done maybe 30,000 miles on that bike!

Fantastic bike

Hey I've got one of those

non gimmicky just practical bikes that work for you

That too!

Between the two, 4 wheels, 3 brakes, 2 gears. I have several multi-geared bikes, just don't want to deal with all the hassle of getting them to actually work.
