Thanks! I love my bike! And my friends are tempted to bike too because my bike is so cool!
Oh right, I forgot your bike was a Soma. For some reason I was thinking Linus, but that fork is clearly much nicer than a Linus fork! (And the downtube looked beefier than a Linus)

These are my 1984 Cannondale SM600 (24"/26" wheels) and 1985 Bianch Tipo Corsa. I built both myself when I was with a bike shop in Long Island, NY. They have had a few "upgrades" and are still in great shape.

I've been riding this electric assist recumbent trike, manufactured in North Carolina, for the past year...48AmpHrs of battery storage combined with a 4,000 watt motor gets me about 120 mile range (while peddling) and flattens out the hills here in Colorado Springs nicely. This model holds the Pikes Peak hill climb speed record for a HPV with battery assist under 100 pounds.

The long and short of it. The larger one is my regular rider. The smaller portable folding bike is for taking on the train or in a subcompact car.Bicycle gallery - post pictures from your stable.-photo0678.jpg
