This is a photo of me, looking a little awkward, and my bicycle, Functional, a 25 year old steel frame Trek 520. I bought it off of someone on ebay over a year ago, and it came with a sticker that just said “Functional” on it, hence its name. If you click for the larger photo you can clearly see the sticker on on the top tube near the seat tube. I don’t have a great photo of Functional and I — this isn’t really ideal but it’s a start.
This was taken yesterday before my brother-in-law and I did a 30+ mile (round trip) ride to the Penn State campus near us, then to Northmoreland Park. In terms of cycling that’s not a huge trip but there were plenty of hills to get super-burned out on (this is western PA, mind you). Functional’s gear ratio isn’t ideal for extended schleps up hills so at one point late in the ride I had to hoof it up one particular hill.
We ended with chicken and booze at the House of 1000 Beers. They have a lot of beer there.
Have a fun extended weekend!
