Bike Check: 1988 Trek 1000

This is my multi-purpose baby, that I picked up from Working Bikes earlier in the season, pictured in front of the Baháʼí House of Worship.

I use it to commute, exercise, and coffee runs. While it's not cosmetically perfect (expected for a 30+ year old bike) its easily the nicest bike I've owned and has been a great re-introduction to the hobby. Plus I love the color and think the orange pedals I added really make it stand out.

Catch me in the bike lane going, probably, too fast.

Fun fact: This bike is from an era when Trek still made their bikes domestically in Wisconsin (I believe most are made in Taiwan now, with the exception of their top tier racing bikes).
