What car is your bike?

[MomOnBike]

Hmmm, I don't know cars all that well, but I'll give it a shot.

My '78 Raleigh Gran Prix (Walter):
A classic British roadster, you know, the one that is always in the shop, but is sweet when everything is actually working. (right now, I have to replace the entire crankset, I get tired of my right pedal falling off)





My EZ Sport AX (William, a long wheel base recumbent):
One of those '60s-era Cadillacs with tail fins and a back seat that I could stretch out in. Long, surprisingly fast, comfortable, and made for long-distance cruising.

(Having trouble with the upload, look at the very bottom.)


My new Electra Ticino (Zaluma):
Um, this is hard. Maybe a Miata? Classy, retro, and good for around town? As I said I don't know cars all that well.

I think my bike is just like the car I drive:

I have a Surly LHT, and my car is a VW Passat station wagon

My old bike is a 1992 Spec Hardrock, in typical 90s pink and purple. That matches my old car, a bare-bones 93 Mazda protege.

Fun thread!

Hmmmm....I guess my Bianchi Velochi would be like a BMW 3-series? Zippy and fun to drive (my friend had one).

My Surly LHT reminds me of my Suburu Outback - more rugged and a workhorse.

I've had my Surly Cross Check for a couple of months, and I haven't driven that many cars. However various bike mechanics tell me they're "bomb proof", so I'm thinking an old Jeep or an old Volvo (240 series).
