A Classic

 

This is not the type of bike we normally see on the streets of Toronto. The most common bikes here have thick tires and are heavier looking. I stopped to check this one out and it turned out to be a Pashley bicycle which have been hand made in England since 1926. I think I would have had more than one lock on this one. Like the colour!

Wow, what a find. My childhood bike frame was a Healing, which I think was English. I don't know if it was handmade, but possibly was.

That is a great looking bike. It has some interesting features like a drum brake on the front wheel, and a traditional Brooks saddle. Obviously this bike can carry a load so it is very practical.

What a great looking bike. The word "sleek" comes to mind.

Nice one! If I get no new project I´ll need to get to the company, I fear. My boy´s bike is too unsafe for the old me... This would be just right!

It looks pretty much what a proper bike should look like.

A good looking bike. The seat might be a little uncomfortable to sit on for a long ride.
