Just about a bike: Panasonic Mountain Cat 7500 [UPDATED]

The way to work

UPDATE: This Panasonic Mountain Cat served me well for many, many years but was officially retired and disassembled in August 2023 due to frame-cancer (see below). Many of its organs were donated to aid in the resurrection of other bikes, most essentially this Breezer Lightning.

I'm all about taking the long-cut.

I'm a proponent of riding the wrong bike.

And I believe you should do your best to run-what-ya-brung.

Over the years, I've owned many bikes which have equipped me to practice these ideals, utilitarian bikes, which I've always purchased for never-more than fifty-bucks and often less, bikes with big heavy wheels, fewer-than-optimal gears, and often with fenders, racks, and large bags attached.
