“When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.”

Vintage Peugeot converted into a single speed. Deep Ellum, Dallas, Texas

My first real road bike was a red Peugeot! Sadly it got left behind in an old barn in one of my many moves, I believe it may still be wall-hanging in Maine!
Mine was a green Raleigh Supercourse – 1974, Reynolds 531 tubing and Brooks Saddle standard. Rode it for seven years until it was stolen off a second story balcony.
I road a Peugeot back in high school. I acquired it from a neighbor for $50. She didn’t care what it originally cost and just wanted it gone. It was a 12-speed. I cleaned it up and put fresh tires on it. I put many miles on that thing.
I remember the time when Peugeot road bikes were ubiquitous – what beautiful machines.
