What bike did you ride today?

[Velocipedist Co.]

Riding across some random prairie in my backyard.

My ride of choice for this weekend, was the 1942 Schwinn built, BF Goodrich,
Defense Model.

I'd like to see a better pic of that blue and silver Aerocycle. Owner? V/r Shawn

There were two Shawn!’ This is the best pic I got of Franks

@fordmike65 @Velocipedist Co. Great pics from your ride in the National Park! Love them!!

@Kstone “The Glass Castle” pics are great!

Philthy and I took the canal out to the riparian area this morning then had some coffee in Gilbert. Philthy rocked his mid 1990’s Cannondale. Sweet riding USA made frame on his orange machine. Stopped at the tracks and an old man on a bike passed us while we were taking pics. He said “Put the lens down on the rail!” as he cruised by:

We weren’t the only ones biking for coffee this morning.

I guess I was thirsty.

When we got back I cleaned Gramp’s 41 and threw some wax on it. I don’t ride during the day that often so I wanted to post a good pic of the bike during today’s revealing cloudy flat light.

I love how ratty it is, and even though it looks like an abandoned back alley bike, it easily flies through 17 miles of desert as good as any modern bike. Catch me if you can mofos...

My crusty Western Flyer got a little workout.

What did you injure? I fractured my fibula (ankle) back in mid Jan., so have been sticking pretty close to home on my rides as well. Lots of gravel from the Winter ( they dump LOTS on the ice) still on the streets. Only short rides so far on my motorcycle and bicycles. I get an updated X-ray this week. A dreaded panic foot "save" in a skid could put me back to square one, and at least I'm on the mend and can drive/clutch my '57 Met Nash and take short rides on my bikes. Walking is still not 100% but never was...Ha!! Getting old sucks. I hope you are better soon. Nice ride by the way!
