What bike did you ride today?

[dnc1]

"50, pre '50"... @dnc1 What is your cycle choice for this?

I haven't quite decided yet Pete.
Probably the Rochester, it rolls smoothly.
But possibly the Cycles Morot truss-bridge framed machine.
I've ridden the Rochester from Dieppe to Paris and back before. I think it's a good mile-eater (on the flat lol!).
But we'll see, weather forecast doesn't look too good here tomorrow. May have to postpone until Friday yet. Or should we make 18th. June the official "50 miles on a pre 1950 cycle" day?
Cheers,
Darren.

Definitely due for another bath. Following @Miq 's lead on proper care, and my lack....:eek:

It’s easier when you only have one vintage bike but I’ve been falling behind too

Took the 41 thru Gilbert AZ again today.

I know that's Foxworth's lumber yard in that one shot, but forgot where the heck it's at. Must have been 2010 the last time I was there. :eek: They must be busy as heck these days with all the mass produced chicken coops that are being thrown up everywhere. lol

Very busy during the day when I come through here. Neely St. North of Elliot in Gilbert, AZ.

I take lots of pics at the trax that run past Foxworths.

Got off work early today, not going to happen again for a week.

A bright sunny 95f right now. Pulled out the Pierce Racer for a quick 2 mile sprint.

If I understand the gear inches concept, this is 72.8", whatever it is, it flies.

Mix of asphalt and dirt roads for this ride.

As soon as I get some time, this machine needs a wash and wax. Maybe put the drop bar back on it and see if it still scares me.

Texas baby.

Gear inches are easy to calculate Mark.
A 91 inch gear means that for every complete revolution of the cranks I move forward 91 inches.

If I understand the gear inches concept, this is 72.8", whatever it is, it flies.

OK, I'm doing something wrong.
Right pedal- straight up,
mark the start of tire touching ground,
Pedal crank one full revolution until right pedal straight up again. 214 inches
I did the same with Velvet (same gear and tire size) 216 inches
I don't know.:eek:
Same bike, same job, same ride, fresh pics.

I ride the dirt side of the river trail for a mile.
I get on under the freeway in the construction area.

Higher power; Light For All.
Who knows?

Nobody will ever know Mark..... No one is looking up! Most of us are looking at device screens too much, myself included.
2-hr mtb ride late today in perfect conditions with no-one out climbing to disrupt my furious downhill tendencies. People climbing have the Right Of Way here. Enjoy your rides all!

Nowhere near classic but ridden regardless.

Postponing ride until Friday, torrential rain for most of the day here

216 inches, that's a world landspeed record gear!
Your brakes must be phenomenal .

Spent Bike Night(unofficial) with a few friends riding around town before stopping at Wibby Brewing for a beverage.

Took my '66 Fastback since I need to steal the wheels & tires for a bike I'm building for my niece to give to her tomorrow. Then this will get S7 wheels/tires. Great night for a ride!
