So I thought it would be nice if we shared pictures of the bicycles in our lives, and I wanted to propose we use the hashtag #bikesofmastodon to do it.
I don't have a name for her (it's definitely a she in my mind) but you are welcome to suggest one, preferably in Spanish or French as those are my primary languages.
I've had her for a year, she was designed to be a daily commuter but she has become much more than that, we have shared many adventures through the mean streets of Buenos Aires and I now regularly do 80 to 100 km with her on my weekends just for fun.
More pictures and details in comments. 🧵

in reply to themroc • • •this is mine not exactly cheap but also not expensive. I use it daily to get to work and also for bikepacking trips. I added close up how it looks now to make you feel little better about bike cleanliness 😉
I call it "Černá střela" in English it doesn't sound good - black bullet.

in reply to themroc • • •yes vz.36, I toured Czech part of EV 13 (iron curtain trail) so I have lots of pictures of them.
This one is the older type. The newer type (vz. 37) looks like this.

in reply to plactagonic • • •Oh I don't feel bad about the bike being dirty. A dirty bike is a bike that's being properly used.

in reply to themroc • • •yeah, tell myself that all the time. Sometimes it feels like this joke:
"Johnny why are you covered in mud? There isn't any outside and didn't rain in weeks."
"There is mom, you just have to find it."

in reply to themroc • •Here are my trusty mules I use for daily commuting and shopping. As I'm kiddo born in 90's with Need For Speed Underground and Fast and Furios series there are like thousand "tunned" parts on both 😀
I love enjoying "Riders on the storm" with my shining (literally) helmet while commuting in the city like the boss 😀
