Well, like everything else this year, it seemed like the Sears September Ride wasn’t going to happen.
But after getting canceled, postponed, and then abbreviated, we finally pulled it off.
The turnout out was a little lighter than usual, but the quality of the bikes and the people who love them, were no less enthusiastic.
These theme rides are good for both man and machine, as it gives them an excuse to dust them off, and take them for a spin around the block.

Amazon ain’t doin that!
At least not yet. Lol!
Cruising Sears style.
This gal whizzed by on her Carbon Fiber road racer, which I thought was kind of a cool book end from the days of lead and steel.
Martyn’s, magnificent postwar JC Higgins, and Martin’s prewar Elgin also made for some nice, pre & postwar bookends.
It’s a proven fact.
Sears sold some of the coolest bikes on the planet.
Bar none!

What’s the best time of day?
Lunchtime!

There’s always a bunch of neat old cars driving around old town Orange.
This was the oldest one I saw.
Thanks, to the city of Orange, for keeping it a cool place to shop and ride old bikes.
And a big thanks, to @hippiemike, for the artwork on these shirts.
It makes me smile, every time I pull it out of the drawer.
Much appreciated!
Life is good, when you’re out riding one of your old bikes.
