My new (used) city bike. Mostly used for the train station and dog running.
Love it!
I got a used RadCity 3 last month and really like it. I'm biking more and driving less for errands and commuting.
Not thats a workhorse if Ive ever seen one
I can fit so many groceries on it!
Rad makes great bikes.
They certainly used to. The quality has started going downhill, unfortunately. I was going to buy a new one (I had a Mission and wanted to upgrade) but the new ones weren't as good and more expensive.
I had to did a bit of workaround so I hope it isn't that pixelated...
Mine is on the left, taken just now.
Love the orthlieb bags. And I'm impressed that your kickstands hold the bike up still. Mine cannot hold itself, even with two full side bags
It's not my bike, but yeah I am surprised too that it can hold it. I had to help her readjust it few times when it fall down.
We switched bikes for a bit few days ago and hers bike rides like a tank.
Aw man, this looks like it may have turned into a love story! ☺️
I've always wondered: What are these thick tires for? Offroad? Sand or ice? Isn't it tiring to drive on them because of the high friction?
They work well on loose surfaces such as sand and gravel, but excel in cities because they are incredibly stable, and cannot get jammed in tram tracks, (legacy) storm drains, or gaps between shifting slabs of concrete. They can also be run at incredibly low pressures.
They do have more resistance than normal tires, but not much more, and the difference is negligible for an ebike :)
My do-it-all bike (commuter, grocery-getter, gravel tourer)
My 42 year old steel road bike. Rebuilt it last year, after not riding it for around 20 years.
Not pictured - upgraded from 6 to 9 speed.
My 40 year old Dutch omafiets. I bought it used two years ago and spent the time swapping and upgrading nearly every component. 
Mooi fiets :)
Nice topic!
..on a little trip last week in the Vosges, France.
Love it!
Not a great angle, but this is my trusty commuter (and only bike....). This past fall I started commuting year round, and am loving it. I abused it a little over the winter with the snow and salt, but it now has a new drivetrain...
This is my new drop bar mountain bike build. It's a BMC twostroke with a weird assortment of components and I love it! 
My first bike as someone who learned to ride one at 30. Have a bit of a love-hate relationship with it. On one hand, AWD absolutely rocks, on the other, the build quality is so-so. Thinking of switching to e-moto once I get my license.
