Old fashioned but still very cool

A standard mode of transportation on campus. This beauty has the OSU traditional seat protection - a plastic bag. When I was a student, I would use a large plastic bag to keep the seat dry when it was parked and then fold it up and place it (the bag) in my rack since My bike didn't have fenders. This prevented a wet tush and a mud streak up my back.

I would have loved to have such a stylish bike but mine still worked just fine.
Looking very vintage. Nicely captured and processed.

Wow, thank you so very much. The entire town is a very bike friendly place.

It looks like it would ride nicely with those fat tires. It also looks like it was color-coordinated with Spring. Good shot!

@olivetreeann I immediately thought of a beach cruzer from San Diego when I saw it.

It’s a lovely spring shot. Still trying to figure out what that is in the basket.

Love the subject of the bike against that beautiful background. When I was in school we used shower caps to protect our seats. We were protecting them from the stickiness from the burning rice fields. They outlawed that practice of rice field burning since. I always wonder what it did to our lungs.

Thank you so much. I would love to be able to bike to the store again but I suppose that bike has already been rode.....

@shutterbug49 I like your story. I actually carry a shower cap in my camera gear for when I get caught in the rain and am to far from my car. I saw the idea on a tutorial once.

Oh, how lovely! I am considering selling my sporty bike and purchasing one of these. I love the retro feel of them.

Thank you so much. I also wish I had one of these but I live in the hills and unfortunately my hill climbing energy is not so good anymore. Maybe an E-bike- need to talk with Santa.
