Is there already one of these? I don't think there is...

So since my previous bike was totaled, I'm in the market for a new one. I am willing to pay extra money to ensure it's cute looking. 'Cause I'm kinda girly like that.

So, this was my old bike (was totaled in the bicycle accident a month ago):

Ran me ~$575 back in '09. I loved that thing, it never gave me any problems. Wish I could find a dealer for the 2010/2011 versions.

Thinking about getting:

It's cute as shit, and all the reviews say it's perfect for commuting (which is pretty much all I do with it). The reviews say it's kind of heavy, but I won't be hauling it up three flights of stairs as I did with my last bike, so whatevah. Comes with a headlamp and back light, so I wouldn't be spending the extra money on those. The front/back rack would definitely be utilized. I'm partial to single-speeds...This one is an internal 3-speed, which I GUESSSS I am willing to deal with. Its $620.

Sooo, what do you ride? Or, any suggestions as to a good (and cute. cute is a necessity) commuter bicycle?

My previous bike was 53cm, and was a LITTLE bit too big. This one is 51cm, which I think would be a really perfect fit.

I really like these two. Would be a definite plus if they had actual racks tho :)

Those are definitely cute. Those kinds are hard to find though... republicbikes.com sells super cute bikes you can customize thoroughly, but the quality is shiiiiit.

I think I'm just attracted to bright colors.


If you get a bike, make sure it has yellow wheels.

Are you sensual and want to cum in and start feeling me up, pull my gurl cock out of my thong? Maybe have your nice bubble butt, spanked or ur tight straight/bi hole played with or maybe fucked.

lol

This is the one I got at the beginning of 2010.

Hybrid Cross-trail / Road.

It's served me very well so far. The only modifications from this picture are I've added are Carbon Overendz Bar Ends and a different seat as the stock seat did not feel right.

my current is a 2010 bianchi pista, similar to picture. just upgraded from a pake. powdercoated pink metallic, white standard-wall velocity chucker wheels, bmx stem with powerlite mini bars, se racing landing gear forks.

we went with stout wheels because these things (http://www.motovelo.us/) are in the plans for our bikes. pedaling is for suckers.
