I couldn't help but notice this ragged pug parked around town the last 2 years. This bike gets ridden all the time. Witness the judicious use of duct tape, tie wraps and rust to hold the bike together. The seat is always painfully askew. Fork was replaced long ago. I snapped these pics at the Farmers Market last weekend.
Proud owner Dan appears and is only slightly little weirded out by the nutjob taking pics of his bike....turns out his Dad bought the bike new around 1980 and rode it for 4 years of University in New Brunswick. And then toured Europe. And then Dan toured Europe. Now Dan is attending Acadia University in Nova Scotia, riding and smiling. You've gotta love youth.
Here's why his seat is always askew...the post is stuck and the top clamp broke free. He says it's quite comfy. I say he's hardcore and deserves a Carbon Tax credit for this bike.
