Here's my red "Schwinn" grocery getter (really, a Chinese company now). Got it on bikesdirect for like $350. It's solid and utilitarian but nothing special. Converted to one chainring on the front because Texas is pretty flat.

The green one is my wife's no-name Chinese grocery getter. She's not really into biking, but I can get her out maybe 20 times a year.

Yellow is my 2000 Schwinn Homegrown (the original USA Schwinn) that I got off Craigslist for like $250. It's very light and well-made. I think it weighs something like 20 pounds with the XL frame. Great hill climber, also converted to single front chainring. Older mountain bikers usually get a kick out of seeing it, apparently it was a big deal back in the day.

And our trainer strands that are a great way to get some exercise in. I love to watch YouTube and ride those.

I'm working from home as of tomorrow, so far less driving in the future for me!
