Bikes on Campus: Diamondback

This beauty of a bike was spotted close to Eikestad Mall and ironically right next to the board directing you to our LBS, Mason's Bike Inn.

With this colour scheme, brilliant frame design, super long stem, rubber covered stancions and V-brakes, how could a bike like not catch your eye? ;)

Bikes on campus: Orange cruiser

Today's bike on campus is this beautiful orange cruiser that caught my eye while walking to Hanco's house last week. It was spotted just outside the Eikestad mall.

I can see that this bike is loved dearly by its owner. I especially love the basket in the front as well as the bell on the handlebar.

It doesn't matter how uncomfortable these big bikes are to ride, they still remain beautiful to me.

Bikes on Campus: Hot pink folding bike

After the University of Stellenbosch introduced the Matie bikes in 2012, the cycling culture in Stellenbosch has really grown and the amount of bikes on campus have more than doubled since I first set foot here.

Every now and then I come across a strange, interesting, funny, old or beautiful bike and cannot help but stop to photograph it. It then gets posted on Instagram with the hashtag #bikesoncampus.

I will also be posting them here on our blog in the future.

The first one up is one of my favorite bikes on campus at the moment and I always smile when I walk past it.

Folding bikes are still quite rare in Stellenbosch so this one stands out even more. Judging by the location it was spotted at, it's probably the property of a future teacher. I wouldn't mind my future kids having a teacher as cool as her!
