[RBW] Re: How would your choice of Rivish Bike carry forward to your choice of automobile?
I think the obvious choice would be a classic VW Beetle- 1967 maybe? Easy to work on and very logical and straightforward. On my '67 the windshield washer fluid reservoir was pressurized by the spare tire. GENIUS!! +1 on the Element. Spent many nights sleeping in the back of it with my bike right next to me. Up early and riding. I must say it is not great for a young, growing family. Also must give a shout-out to the Chevy Volt. An absolutely amazing piece of engineering that still makes me smile when I get behind the wheel. Cheers!

Say, that looks like a Blastolene roadster. http://blastoland.com/blastoland/BIG_BERTHA.html Prior to sorting out my preferences and getting my orange Rambouillet, I briefly owned this similar yet poor fit: [image: image.jpg] Had to sell the rag top almost as soon as I got it. The four wheel drive utility (and preference for a manual transmission) remained in a much more refined manner while maintaining the utility aspect. [image: Ob08white1.JPG.jpg] Extending the projection of the fit, the ride and the utility of my Rambouillet and projecting it on a car, I got my wife a different AWD suited for her automotive randonneuring. BTW- obsessive bike-centric feature is the winter package fold-down rear seats permitting the Rambouillet to ride inside: [image: mdm-8043-2009-bmw-328i_cc_007-8043.jpg] Outright furthest extent projection: [image: 1974AlfaRomeoGTV.png] If they didn't rust, break down, had functioning climate control, room for a bike or a big dog, operated like an contemporary vehicle and had AWD.

I have an '03 Atlantis that I use for commuting and recreation and garage riding on my trainer. It's the bike built-up with all the bells and whistles that I ever wanted on a bike--SON Deluxe, Phil Touring Hub, Paul touring canti breaks, etc. All that's missing is a Phil BB. Coming this summer. A friend always teases me because, as he says, it's built like a Bentley. My comeback to that is: Purposely. :) https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-dilDG4VMC3w/U2jxxoyfh6I/ACY/0D6jqaT6imI/s1600/21SteveDeMont_51cmAtlantis7242012.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-5SScBjnwykg/U2jxtUIGI6I/ACQ/NFfe2b9wDpk/s1600/15SteveDeMont_51cmAtlantis7242012.jpg Steve DeMont Seattle On Monday, May 5, 2014 8:47:34 PM UTC-7, Tom Virgil wrote: If you are going to say I ride a Rivendell bicycle, I don't need an automobile, God bless you.

I ride a bicycle, Rivendell or otherwise, so I very rarely need a car. (insert self righteous smirk here) When I do, my wife has a Skoda Oktavia, which is the best analogue I could find to my Sam Hillborne. Bigger and more robust than similarly priced sedans, a little out of the ordinary, world class technology (Audi/VW) but made in Czech Republic to keep costs down. Does that make the Czech Republic the European analogue of Taiwan?

I have a Kia Rondo, which while unexciting as can be, conforms to the idea of having one bike for every purpose. I've hauled everything from people to (2) bikes with both wheels attached to 20 8 foot sections of 2x4's, about 50 paver stones, trees, tools, paint, mulch, etc. It has a 4 cylinder and gets 22-24 mpg around town, 26-27 on the highway. Not economy car great but not full size SUV horrible either.
