What bike did you ride today?

1961 Schwinn Speedster ridden to work in rain, worked out well

No ride for me yesterday so today I made sure to clip into the 21st Century Hawthorne Flyer in celebration or our spiritual riding leader @dnc1, his 55th b-day, quick recovery and recent long ride. Added 55 more for him celebrating my 64 so-far years. Fortunately I'm also still here and riding when I can.

Not sure about the 'spiritual riding leader' tag Pete, don't make my head swell even more!
Good to know that you're still getting those miles in over there. And on a serious note it is so nice to be appreciated.
As you know, I love this thread and everyone's varying daily experiences on an eclectic mix of machines. Long may it continue!

Next Sunday I have organised a ride with friends and acquaintances.
Our annual BVCC ride is cancelled, but I've cajoled around 25 others to join me and ride the route anyway.
All pre 1936 bicycles, it should be fun and I hope to get some great photos for here.

Keep riding while you can!

Finally was able to go out on my newly purchased 41 Columbia this morning on its maiden voyage.

The plastic water cage is held on the down tube with Velcro strips so nothing gets scratched. It was kind of hot so staying hydrated is a must.

Had to cut the ride short to 8 miles cause of the rain that popped up. So much for the weather app that said no rain for the next 2 hours!
Our small City is in the process of building a Sr. Park which came in very handy in staying dry from the rain.

Man it poured for about 1/2 hour but thanks to the covered area at the park the rain was no problem. I’m very happy to report this pre war bike is a super smooth and comfy rider. I have the seat post set to maximum extension at 3” into the frame but could use another inch or two of additional saddle height.

That bike is stunning mate. Enjoy it.

I took the Ratrod Flyer out this morning around the neighborhood to get a Sunrise shot. Around and around the blocks I traveled waiting to see the fireball come up. It's always 15 to 20 minutes later than what they say it will rise. But like in the cartoons the sun seems to slowly come up then bouces up quickly.

We are getting there

Got the shot...and riding home. Getting hungry. Remember....there is no mission without nutrition.
GREAT RIDE

RIDE SAFE GANG!

Took my two newest for a quick spin around the hood this morning.

Muscle bikes and Motobikes...

Got in a quick neighborhood ride on my Shelby before yard work and heat.

@dnc1 . I edited that post some Darren. Anyone who builds wood wheels and rides them for 50 miles gets my vote. You clearly
represent us old-school cyclists.

I have your bike’s sister.

Just trimmed the bougainvilleas before it rains and maybe ride later if weather permits.
