What bike did you ride today?

[TR6SC]

Here I am lying again. This isn't a bicycle, and I didn't really ride it today. It was 30 years ago. 1988 Pasadena Doo Dah Parade!
Not positive, but that might be @Balloonatic on the Hi-Wheel.

What a fun riding day with Hippie Mike and Peter @SKPC
I have too many pics from a long awesome day.

We rode the river trail to Fairview Park and then down to the end of the Balboa and back to the Ferry over to Balboa Island, around to the Back-Bay of Newport for a few miles....
Where Mikes old and slow G-3s started falling apart.

Mike let most of the air out of his rear tube and started into the head wind home; it got really windy.

Peter split off at the river trail and Mike and I made it to my house for the Reward.
40+ miles with some wind and Mike on old tires; I had a blast.
just another day on my 42 Elgin Tiki Cruiser

Glad you two made it back! Way to nurse that tire so far HM... That sweet black bike that Mike was riding is something to behold...Beautiful ride.

Lucky for us, both our interests are in studios right down the street from each other. So I biked with John-boy a few towns away. I left him at his Kung Fu studio to practice being a ninja...and I biked to the next town and went to work on my art.

Snapped a crappy last minute pic before heading home from dinner in Old Town.

Went for a morning Schwinn Spin and now off to a full day of little league baseball. I don’t know if a day can get much better. Maybe a second Schwinn spin after a victory would top the day.

Well, opened another box and put my 2 speed-auto hipster bike together and took it out. It rides nice, I like it....

Well we had QUITE the day on Friday. After all the snow, it was almost 80 out. Don't worry though, it's gonna snow Monday and Tuesday.

I was on a mission to bike to an art museum that was displaying Money, Degas, and Van Gogh. It was a 10 mile ride.

So I found me a bunch of suckers....

Well, we start off with a tire leak when we met up with half the group. We joked about being prepared for break downs. I don't think we knew what we were in for.

Three miles from the gallery, after we emerged from a walk in the woods, up a ton of stone stairs, then up a long cobblestone hill, I realize when I go to sit on the Columbia that my wheel might as well be facing sideways. I lost a very important springer nut and bolt while going over all those bumps...and was about to take a trip to the dentist.
We searched up and down the cobblestones for it for over an hour. Meanwhile, Hippie tactfully "borrows" some road sign's nuts and bolts and is about to put them on my bike, when John-boy emerges from having gone into the woods and found my parts. SUCCESS!

then we went along our way. We had a great lunch at a deli nearby run by very kind people.

Then we got to the gallery

Then we biked for drinks and people watched for a while

Goofed around some

Then on the way home we had a master link break. Once again, these guys are amazing. They found a pen spring to wrap it and get us back on the road. When that didn't work, they just started smashing it. And it got us home!
I am SO GRATEFUL. LOVE these people. The Kool Kats are the best.

Thirteen hours and 30 miles later...we were home and tired!



And today we biked ten miles to my work to make up for yesterdays hookie...

Tired and happy
