A Cycle Store with Bicycles..!

And Yes, the kind of cycles I like.

I visited Woodstock Cycleworks a little while back, and wow beautiful bikes, the kind with chain guards, mud guards and baskets.. Old and neglected cycles from garages and garden shacks, that has been made up, pampered and pimped into little works of art. How lovely that these cycles again get to meet tar. This is what I like to see, cycles being set free. I have blogged about setting the cycles free before, read it here  Taking the Cycle for a Ride, the South African Way.

If you like cycling and real cycles please do yourself a favour and visit Woodstock Cycleworks. 

Check out the pictures below for a small preview of what the store has to offer.

      

My Cycle, the Gazelle

I love this cycle, it has a low cross bar, making it easy to get on and off.

The handles are nice and high, it has a chain guard, basket at the back and mudguards on front and back wheel. Besides that it has nice detailed finishes. Like the little gazelles on the nuts on the wheels.

This is an used dutch bike, I do not know how it ended up in South Africa or what its history is. But it rides fantastic, got nice 3 speed Sturmey Archer, this cycle can take on the hills in Cape Town and it glides beautifully.
