Easy Rider

Before I arrived, one of R's friend's noticed that there were a number of bikes in his building that were going to be sent to the garbage. He graciously grabbed one for me and had it fixed up!

The easy rider!
It's old and it's got a fair amount of rust on it, which bothers R's mom, but I love it! She was nice enough to give me one of her panniers to use for groceries, which works out wonderfully!

Rusty
The coolest part about my bike, I think, is the brakes. Weird, I know. But it's so old it has rod-actuated breaks, rather than cables!!

Rods and Levers

 I also added a dutch lock which I almost always remember to use!

Love my lock!
The easy rider has gotten me around the Netherlands for the past 2 months, and I'm so happy to have had it! R's friend requested some Canadian beer in return, and I was happy to bring some for him. R and I will finally go over to his house to give them to him next weekend. He's planning a bock beer tasting for us!

My awesome  ride!
