I haven't been riding much lately, and I haven't ridden my Monark built Western Flyer in a long, long time, but I got a nine mile errand run/neighborhood ride today.
RidinRelics - I saw eagles on my ride too!
I recently acquired this old Chicago Rawhide soft blow mallet.
It's not rare and I don't know how old it is but I was attracted to the brand name because at one time I worked for a stock car team that was sponsored by Chicago Rawhide.
I replaced the plastic inserts with proper rawhide...
Rode my late '80s Bianchi in the local off road event, 'Piggy's Revenge'.
My bike was, by far, the oldest bike there. Lots of high-tech 1x9 and 1x11 drivetrains and disk brakes.
You have to love an event with a mid-race beer stop.
Shot and a beer
The payoff: brats and beer...
@GatewayCoasters - better watch yourselves guys
September 5, 1896 - City police were launching a crackdown on bicycle "scorching" and "reckless wheeling" on the streets of St. Louis. A minister said bicycle riding, as he had seen it in Forest Park, endangered both health and morals. Police...
Is this a desirable thing? Needs tires and an overhaul. Some surface rust but OG paint and graphics are good/very good. It has some interesting scroll work at the fork crown.
After a through cleaning, de-rusting, and lube service. New grips, water bottle cages, pedals, beater Brooks, new rear tire to match the front that came with it.
Picked up this mid-80s Bianchi Forte from CL. I'm gonna set it up to ride the trails and the packed gravel/sand/shell roads at our local nature reserve.
Good score on the Kennedy! The Snap On box is fun too. But I really love the Craftsman chest. Does it have a date or manufacturer code stamped on it? Maybe in one of the corners of the back panel? You may already know this - That Craftsman logo is called the 'Heritage' logo and was in use...
22 miles today, thinking about kids in Higgins boats and kids in parachutes🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇦🇫🇷. Today was my first time on this trail. Will become part of the Legacy Trail (South) extension.

40 miles on Ranger this beautiful day. Round trip on the Legacy Trail and Venice Waterway Trail (east) and a side trip to the airport.

I was out on my '56 Monark/Western Flyer when I got to see our local first responders in action.
I'm not sure what was burning. The fire was off the road, in some heavy undergrowth, but it was really blazin' for awhile.
Hats off to these guys...
Wind was blowing north to south, so I rode east/west to the nature reserve and Power Line Road.
Here are a few of the many alligators I saw soaking up some rays on a cool day.
Today is Cyclone Coasters' 'Ride a Lady' cruise, so I took A.J., '70 Suburban 3-speed, for a spin.

Don't be afraid to tear in to these hubs. Hopefully, the videos you watched were by RJ The Bike Guy on youtube. I've done a couple of these by keeping the laptop on the workbench and letting RJ walk me through it.
Managing the little pawl springs was my biggest challenge, just take your...
Sunday is Rangerday
32 miles on the Venice Waterway Park and Legacy Trails.
South to Shamrock Park (where I got into fire ants while taking this picture. Had a couple dozen over my left foot, lower leg and in my shoe. Ended up with 10-12 bites, the ones in my shoe did the most damage. I...
