Was at CicLAvia today in LA and most bikes were big-box dept store bikes, or 80's universal Japanese bikes. A generalization of course, but sort of seemed that way. One rider was pacing me and finally passed by saying he was just trying to get a good look at my bike. That was after I almost swerved into him of course. LOTS of bike baskets. Front and rear, male and female, everybody had baskets, which of course is cool. No fenders, but this is LA...
I did see a gentleman riding a Rambouillet. I was a bit slow on the uptake and didn't get a pic, and he was too far away for me to start hollering "Nice bike!!!" But wow did that bike stand out. It was the orange one and it was just glowing it was so nice. A real fun day that I got to spend with 100,000 of my closest cycling friends: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/sets/72157631717147223/with/8064939352/ Will need to spark up a SoCal Riv-Ride soon!
