What bike did you ride today?

was finally able to get a few of my fellow IT professionals out from in front of their computers and out for a 22mi ride from the Verrazano bridge over the Brooklyn bridge... down to Wall Street and then back.

My son and I took out some banana seat bikes today. We went 10 miles. Finally my 66 made it back under its own power [emoji41]

Actually this was a Saturday run
-down to the neighbors and back. Which in the country is a 1/4 mile each way.

I purchased this 1982 Bianchi roughly 3 years ago from the original owner but have never rode it. The bike is nearly NOS in condition and I've been afraid to damage it.

Today was the day! I joined my friends on the Sunday morning group ride into San Antonio ; what a great riding bicycle.

You guys ride fast!
Do you shave your arms and legs? Just curious it's all about speed and lightweight and stuff I can't explain; totally love and respect the miles and money you guys put in...
I missed Hippie Mike; he left before me so I rode solo my 1937 Syracuse

I was filling up my water bottle backpack and was talking to them for a few minutes and then they passed me on the river trail...

After about a quarter-mile I decided to ring my bell a few times to let them know I was still there and they encouraged me to pass them and so I did.
Sitting straight up moving my arms as if I was running in slow motion, letting them know it was a 1937 Syracuse, Skiptooth, single speed...
One guy said, "Stay on his wheel" and they drafted behind me for about a quarter-mile. Fun times; I was out of breath for a bit....

Mike uses a shoelace to tie up his drop stand.

We were thankful for the wind to keep us cool , tho it was 15 miles of headwind the whole way home

We made it and were greeted with our standard treat

You really need to talk to a Shelby expect on that one. Hopefully one will chime in.

1938 or 39 most likely.

Rebuilt & honed the teeth on the yellow band, it was free spinning- not good. Seems to be OK now, ran it up & down some hills. Looking south at the Bear mountain bridge over the Hudson river.

Went down the Minuteman Trail and back, about 20 miles. You've all seen the USAAF bike, but I did get a picture of this "Camry dent" (for those who haven't heard of it, it refers to a dent in the rear corner bumpers that seems especially prevalent on Camrys).
