What bike did you ride today?

[cyclingday]

Today’s theme was prewar Schwinns and Hawaiian shirts.

It was another beautiful day for cruising.

Fun solo 35 mile ride up thru town to Philthy’s home and back. Took the Western Canal to some back street bike routes heading north along side the 101 Price Freeway up to the route 60 overpass at Dobson. Hopped on the Tempe Canal for some miles up to the Tempe Riverview Park and found the hidden bike path under the 202 to the Salt River-Tempe Town Lake path. Crossed the lake at the Scottsdale Rd bridge and rode the green belt up to Philthy’s casa for a sample of some carnitas and some iced tea. That was nice. Back down the belt to the Tempe marketplace for some Albacore and more tea to fuel the final push back home. Five hours of single gear pedaling enjoyment. I’ve always wanted to figure out how to make it north to Tempe on my bike. New canals and sights accessible sitting on top of my Troxel.

@buickmike this Electra 225 should help take a little of the sting out of your dog bite. Thought of your bad day when I saw it.

Sun really brought out the color in the BFG badge. I hardly ever take pics of the front of my bike, especially from the kickstand side. :eek:

This Bel Air was gettin low.

@Sven I got the moon in the howling shot tonight. Looks better with more light.

Reverse sunset to the east was killer tonight. Even better than the western set for a few minutes. This doesn’t happen every night.

Normal western set finally kicked in.

Nice end to a long ride.

Yes!
It is an old water tower converted into a rental place now; you can come stay there, and ride the beach.
It's a "Landmark" for me to turn around, so I don't have to ride on Pacific Coast Highway, next to people totally distracted, while they fly in a giant hurry to make up time on the road.

It is a challenge to stay up-to-date on this super-active thread.
