Love this! My bike is called Big Red too and we are also great friends. We've been together for 12 years, she's seen me through 20,000 - 30,000km of commuting and day-to-day transport. Though being a step-through bike with 3 gears, I'll certainly never ride the length of Te Waipounamu on her!!!

I spent several days riding that path while taking a little vacation to Venice Beach in March. Our AirBnB had a couple bikes and we did nothing but ride - no rental car - with a couple hill hikes and some breweries thrown in for good measure. Loved it. I love bikes too!

So, by 2017 I'd broken two old steel bike frames. And considering the parts I'd removed to upgrade on my current ride at the time, I figured I had about two and a half bikes worth of components sta... read more
