Here's my GT out for a winter spin.

Let's see your bicycle...2009 edition
I thought we used to have s thread with bicycle pictures, but I couldn't find it. I found a bunch of bicycle threads, but not a dedicated picture one.
Last spring I bought a 2001 Kona Hahana and it renewed my love of riding. Due to lack of trails I had pretty much converted it to "hybrid status". But the frame was a little small, the slicks were still kind of fat, and I think the MTB gearing hurt me on the street. So I posted it on Craigslist and sold it in one day.
Here's my new bike. Bike snobs will turn up their noses at it, but I love it and have been riding it a LOT. It's a Schwinn Tourist hyrbid. 700c wheels, flat bars, aluminum frame, 24 spd. I got it al a small LBS who also sells Specialized and Trek. I am pretty sure I have seen this bike at Target, but figured buying from the LBS was the way to go. Still a cheap bike but until I graduate, $200 is a lot for me to spend right now, lol. I peeled most of the stupid stickers off, still a few I missed, and haven't decided if the kickstand is staying or going. I need to add a bottle cage, pump, and a small tool kit yet also.

I never understood why road bikes just dont use fairings instead of the riders dressing in tight tight spandex.

7005 aluminum frame, carbon fork, Shimano 105 in the rear, Tiagra front derailleur and shifters, 700c Vuelta wheels. About 23 lbs.
I've since added a computer and a couple black bottle cages:

My other 2 wheel toys. I need to get back into riding them more. The SV sort of took away some of the healthier form of riding time.
