As per the title:

Picked that little beauty up from eBay for $150. Haro, and in my perfect colors too!! Absolutely cracking little bike, and the first time I've ridden a BMX since I was a teenager!!
Got it so I could exercise my mega-high energy puppy better. She's getting really good at running with me too. That was but ten minutes ago, after a rainy nighttime ride around the neighborhood.
Here's her in action a few nights back!!

Riding something like that BMX would kill me.
I had a lovely full size bike with similar handlebars, no gears, very comfortable to ride. Some fucker stole it. I'd left it hidden in some shrubbery by a river while I went 'mushing' in a nearby field.
I've been riding the bike I bought for my daughters 12th birthday some 28 years ago for the last umpteen years. It's starting to sound it's age now, creaks worse than me!

I'm riding what the Dutch call a Grandma Bike, deliberately diarroea colored, with completely worn bicycle bags on the back that are almost 40 years old and used to be my moms.
The pedals mismatch, the saddle mismatches, its an oddity.
Why oh why?
Bicycle theft is a big thing in Holland. Getting an unappetizing looking bike and making it look worse than it is is the best way to assure the bike still is there when you get back.
My bike covertly has quality. Anti puncture tyres, all-metal pedals, comfy gel saddle, exactly what you need when you need to haul ass weighing 375 or so lbs.
But it looks like shit, deliberately, so that it will not be stolen.

This particular pic is not mine, but I've got the exact same bike. Try to hop on it daily. Often ride it pretty slow looking for dinner. Hauled a ton of chickens & hens out of the woods with it!

I'm confused. WTF does pounds sterling mean? It weighs as much as 650 pounds in sterling silver? That's a really heavy bike mate!

Here's my daily rider (well I don't really ride daily anymore now that I live in the same building I work in) from a winter cruise around the city a few years ago. Fixed gear with cross tires for the snow. I ride slicks when it's not winter.
