Kathrine and Peter, of Humboldt Park, each have three bikes. Katherine has a hybrid mountain bike/cruiser, an old crossover and a very new bike; Peter's primary bike is a long haul trucker.

Deorey works at West Town Bikes. He didn't build this particular bike, but he builds bikes like it. (HIs coworker built this one.)

Dory and Bridget live in Lakeview. Bridget just got a new Avail; Dory rides a Schwinn.

Josh, of Highland Park, rides an old Huffy. (He also has a "Beer Me" sign taped to his back.)

From left to right: Liz, Scott, Melanie, Cindy, Steve. They all ride trek bikes.

David, in the Viking helmet, rides a trek cross bike. His favorite beer is "the one I have in my hand because it was free," he said. (A stranger didn't like it and gave it to him.)

London (left), Cora, and Mickey (dog), of Humboldt Park, all rode to Tour de Fat on a Felt 90.

Jay (right), of Bucktown, rides a Univega he bought off Craigslist. Natasha, also from Bucktown, rode a hybrid cruiser to the Tour de Fat, but that's her weekend bike. She wouldn't ride that to work.
