A little over a month ago I bought my first bicycle. I’ve ridden many bikes as a kid but this one is mine! For almost 2 years I’ve had my eyes on the bikes from Bowery Lane Bicycles<\/a>. Not sure what took me so long to get one. They’re incredible bikes, excellent design and handmade in NYC using American steel. I’ve been following them on Twitter and saw that they were heading to Philadelphia. I asked them if they would drop me off a bike while I was working at DeLorenzo’s and they agreed. I offered them some pizza but unfortunately they arrived during the off hours (I still owe you guys). So, the 2 owners of the company, Mike and Patrick, hand delivered the bike to me at work. These guys are the coolest, we chatted for a bit and then they headed back to NYC.<\/p>\n

Bowery Lane Bicycles offers 3 bikes, all single speed cruisers. I chose the Bronks Raw. I love the raw steel look and the visible welding plus it comes with a bell. I upgraded my seat to a Brooks B67<\/a> saddle. I got a Bern Macon bike helmet. I got the Beamer 3<\/a> headlight and the Superflash<\/a> taillight both from Planet Bike. I also got the Kryptonite Series 2 KryptoLok U-Lock bicycle lock. I threw a cheap handlebar iPhone mount in there also, mainly for tracking my bike rides. I’m looking for a way to transport the bike in my little Honda Civic. Any suggestions? Here’s a picture of my bike, that’s my portable radio in the crate:<\/p>\n
