I'm glad to see a kind of renaissance of #bicycle steel frames. I never liked those thick alloy ones. I wonder whether this fits under #SilentSunday or #WindowFriday?

In the natural world, what is the probably the most efficient traveler?
Probably a fish like a salmon
Not a horse. Not a bird like a pigeon. And a mouse is surprisingly inefficient
And not a human
But
Put us on a #bicycle and it seems we have the entire natural world beat *and* all of our machines 😲

I'm picking up my minivan alternative from the bike shop today, in preparation for becoming a dad. It's a Riese and Müller Load4 75 Vario. It's a little hard to see the bike with the rain cover on, but at least my stuff is protected from the elements.
It has full suspension, and we plan to install a baby car seat adapter with its own additional suspension. The baby should have a smooth ride.
Here's a review that helped sell me on this bike: https://www.cyclingelectric.com/reviews/riese-and-muller-load4-75-vario-reviewed
6 o'clock view. It still can squeeze through pretty narrow spaces!
11 o'clock view. See the headlight above the front wheel.
View from 3 o'clock, with an imposing shadow. The big kickstand is visible.
View from 7 o'clock. You can see the two batteries for eliminating range anxiety, the rear suspension spring, and the wheel lock with a key dangling from it.

Sinner Mango velomobile for sale. I've been asked to sell it on behalf of a friend.
This particular bike has actually barely been used. When it was ridden the owner always took care so it's also never been crashed or scratched and therefore never needed to be repaired.
Due to being stored indoors it also shows no signs of gelcoat damage due to sunlight.
Actually, though it was made in 2008 this bike looks almost like it left the factory yesterday.
I don't think I've ever seen a cleaner second hand machine.
I ride a Mango myself and I find it to be an excellent bike. It's quick, suitable for use in all weather (I commuted all year round in mine) and also has enough inside capacity for a tent / sleeping bag etc. if you want to go cycle touring without any aerodynamic penalty.

Going for a ride along a country road, the velomobile which is for sale as it's seen from my own velomobile when riding just behind.
Inside view. This is a very clean bike. You can see the steering column with switches for tooter and indicators, the dashboard with controls for the lighting etc.
Rear side view showing the huge reflector at the back which makes you extremely visible, as well as the rear light
Mango velomobile view from the front showing the headlights and the general cleanliness of the whole bike

Meanwhile, in the USA many cities want to remove hard won #bicycle infrastructure in order to add an additional lane for cars 
It is also worth noting that there were approximately 2.7 million automotive-related fatalities in the U.S. over the past 60 years
I think I have finally arrived at cycling spd shoes that I can wear on long gravel / touring rides to a meeting and still have something that matches my business casual uniform for tech oriented professional settings.
I used to have some great black Chrome leather mid calf boots but sadly they are no longer made.
Boa laced shoes aren’t normalized yet outside of athletic contexts, so I am putting pins from my travels on the tongue to fill the empty space.

Stopped at my local for a couple of pints and some hang time with friends.... A buddy snapped this as I was getting ready to pedal home
