What bike did you ride today?

I took my '55 Raleigh Sports for Bike Night last night. We had around 150 riders and the theme was "Disney" so I wore my Richard Pryor t-shirt. Another fun ride until the skies opened up with a small thunder shower and only a little hail.....

Break time at the top of Sunset St. by the golf course.

Easier to take bikes on an occasional ride than have the bike sit around and have the grease dry up. Bike is 1938 BA170 model-badged as 'Excelsior'. Sports the jeweled tank, fore-brake and full floating saddle. Basically a notch down from the 1936 Schwinn Autocycle SA207 which has the cast aluminum speedo dashboard. Rides beautifully-Morrow equipped

Matt and I finished up the our first major restore, the 1936 Elgin Redbird we started last summer. First time out for a ride in decades. The first picture is what it looked like when we brought it home. There still a bit of tweaking to do on it, but man, it rides so nice. Being a juvenile bike, it fits me pretty good, Matt not so much, but he still looks good riding it. 😍

Being a big part of our Neighborhood Watch, I rode down to a new neighbors home to drop off a map of the hood with all the neighbors names along with their contact info. Then went by the mail box on my OG paint 41 Shelby. The nicest riding bike of all that I own....

1974 Schwinn voyageur II. Just got this from FB marketplace. $30 delivered. Cleaned it up and took it for a short ride this evening. Rides fine I like the handlebars. The whole bike is chrome then they painted over it. I was gonna make it into a fixed gear but it is so original I’m not sure now.
