Keep meaning to get back on the bike. Had a string of injuries and illness which has kept me out of the saddle for over a year. I ride an Apollo Ascent MTB

I removed the deathtrap cages on the pedals shortly after this photo was taken.

They look like road bike clipless pedals...single sided.
Green Ideas:
One of the best and most elegant bikes ever built IMHO. I had a black one that ended up stolen. :'(
Mine (as well as the one in the photo) was from the seventies, but I still think it was more comfortable and reliable than many state-of-the-art bicycles I've tried since. In Brazil it's known as "Peugeot Turismo", don't know its name in other countries.

We have those here in the States, too.
I have a Specialized Epic. <3
The handlebars aren't as tweaked up as they are in this photo. I still need to get new pedals for it. I absolutely love this bike.
Green Ideas:
I also had one similar to this Swedish Monark from the 1940's (yes, I love antiques).
Mine was Brazilian made and had a different braking system. It was in very bad shape when I bought it, and eventually it started falling apart. But the 28 inch wheels made a hell of a difference, I loved it. Now, at least in Brazil (and for a few decades already), the wheels in the new bikes are at most 26 inches wide. Is that also true elsewhere?
