What bike did you ride today?

-
Not been able to post much recently, too much working and then just sleeping for 11 days straight! (Obviously not sleeping for 11 days straight).
Received this photo in an email from a V-CC member a few days ago, taken 1893/4.....
George[905] (3).jpg



He wanted to know if I could confirm the location. So here are some shots of my Rochester and my neighbour Clive and his 1930 Hercules at the very same spot (The George hotel, Wallingford) some 125 years later.....

Apologies for the late posting, but thought some of you guys might enjoy this photo from 27th. December ride.
If you're going to turn up with a fabulous 1927 Alcyon bicycle, surely you're going to carry it on the back of your 1927 Alvis car.....

A belated Happy New Year to one and all!
Keep on riding!
 
I received some tires and tubes in the mail from Tad @petritl
Mounted them on the Terrot and flew out to meet @Cory
Quite a difference in the ride; what a blast!

After shoveling the driveway, The 36 degree temp felt pretty warm, so I decided to pulled the ol' 55 Vette out to take it for a short spin around the neighborhood

Interesting what the snow did to these trees. Reminds me of Dr Suess trees

Ill be removing 1970s rear rack later on this month , as I've bought a era correct front rack.
All in all ..Good ride
 
700 miles in Cali total now on 4 different bikes since 12/24/2018. 196 on this Elgin..... Hmmmm..... @tripple3 ???
WoW! That is awesome!
I'm glad I got to ride with you for some of them; hopefully get in a big one while your here.
My record with my old riding buddy @Hippie Mike is the end of the San Gabriel River Trail; but it took us 8 hours: 100 miles round-trip.

I don't want to ride to work in the rain; so this week looks depressing to me.:(
Let's Ride!
I can't keep up with you; so I'll chase ya':p
 
Let's see 'em!
A couple of rules though, please:
Must include new picture(s) taken just before, during, or just after the ride.
Keep it fresh: no recycled, old, or duplicate pictures.
Maybe include a description of the bike and the trip?

Dropped the car off at the shop yesterday, but forgot to get some laminating pouches needed to finish a project. Aired up the Conti Ultra Sports and took the ~5mile roundtrip to Office Depot on the ~1947 CroMo Continental w/ Sturmey cartridge bearing drum, Sachs 2spd kicker, SKF cartridge bb, Sachs/Campagnolo crank. Just got back, this bike is always fun to ride:
