We rode to a park with our grandchildren. The black Bianchi Grizzly with the pink tires is an '87, bought used in '91. The white Rocky Mountain Fusion is an '02. Purchased in September 2002 for $650 from a camp that buys new, uses them for the summer, and then sells them off at the end of the summer. I'd say both have aged better than the Windstar/Freestar in the background.

The purple/mauve bike was being thrown out, and the little green bike was $15 just a couple of months ago.

The Thule bike trailer was also used. $400, but has served us well for about 5 years now.

I was so much younger then ... Where do the years go?

Is that a Sears or Montgomery Ward kit house in the background? Looks like it.

Here is mine "Specialized e-bike" (Peddle assist.)
One of first summer rides this year....
Near the shores of Utah Lake.

@loneryder, good question. That particular park is on a peninsula formed by an oxbow in the Red River. It's now a prestigious and quite expensive area, but may not have been back when the homes were built.

All that to say, any new construction or renovation there now is very high-end, but a kit house back in the day is quite possible.

Very nice! That shot reminds me of our time in Colorado last month.

A year or two ago I helped a friend install an aftermarket kit to convert his wife's bike to pedal assist. She loves it.

My Bianchi last fall when it was still new.... Well, new to me that is. It's a 2020 model. Bianchi doesn't have much of a presence around my area so mine is usually the only one I see when I am riding. It's fun.

Now that's a SEAT!

Yes, Sir.
Surfboard racks on the right side. Beach town we have our home in...flat. Only incline is street to boardwalk or if you ride over one of the bridges.

It's held up well considering it sits outside uncovered in an ocean/bay environment.

My 2016 Emonda SL, love the bike though I would like disc brakes on my next road bike as I get heavier with age

2021 Fuel EX, this one is fun too especially considering it’s got “too much travel” for local trails

My Ibis RipMo AF. Love this thing.

Gives a whole new meaning to, "I fell off my bike"
