Bike art? My two Cell Bikes singlespeeds.

With a casual glance you would think that Wonder Woman (orange bike) is the faster bike. In fact Bumblebee (yellow bike) has a higher spec list and is the faster bike.

Wonder Woman has been built up as my cafe/commuter bike around a Cell Bikes fixie frame mostly with parts that I had lying around. For some of these parts, this is the third bike that they have been on.

Bumblebee started out two years ago as a Cell Bikes custom fixie, but has had numerous parts upgraded, many of which are now on Wonder Woman. Bumblebee is one of my fitness/training bikes and I often ride it 40+ km.

Expensive bikes parked in the utilitarian bike racks at Buzz Cafe, Tennyson

I had a laugh at the irony of very expensive carbon bikes parked in the utilitarian bike racks at Buzz Cafe in Tennyson (opposite the Queensland Tennis Centre).

What is that joke about buying an expensive, light bike so that you can eat an extra piece of chocolate cake at the Saturday morning ride’s coffee stop?

I shouldn’t laugh, were were also stopped on our Saturday morning ride — but no chocolate cake; not even sugar in our coffee. I guess our bikes are not expensive/light enough.
