I fell in love with the single speed life with this old Raleigh I converted. Just needed a bike to get around the city with and it ended up being my daily driver for almost 10 years. Rain, snow, sunshine or otherwise, this bike has taken me more places than any bike will.
The 2nd pic is a bike I picked up today. I’ve moved out of the city and into the burbs, my oldest child is getting confident enough on his bike that I need my own wheels to keep to keep up and my old commuter just wasn’t it, thankfully ive found a nice home for it with a friend who is starting his journey commuting through the city.
Took this Electra moto 1 out with my son today and couldn’t be happier with the purchase. The curbs in this suburb don’t stand a chance.
Looking forward to chasing my kids around for years to come on this ride!
I’m not a huge fan of the white tires, we aren’t ready yet, but there are a lot of gravel trails around, any recommendations for an all purpose tire would be appreciated! Also thoughts on narrower handle bars? The wide bars are comfy, but I’m used to a much more narrow setup. Looking forward to making this bike my own over the years!

That thing is SWEET. If you ever need to wash the tires use Dawn Powerwash spray it will clean those babies right up 👍🏻
