What bike did you ride today?

[piercer_99]

@Sven it works great, thank you for the idea.

You all were talking about noisy bikes, so I lubricated the chain and added a couple drops of oil to the coaster. Very quiet.
Now when riding full speed and the cicadas bomb me I can really hear that thump off my chest or face.

Went a piece out duck creek road, further down than usual. Just makes it a couple miles uphill on the way back.

The Pierce is looking very nice: has great lines.^^^^ Very good looking bike, and I would bet pretty quick.
I got out on the forgiving Elgin for a 52 miler. Up & down the coast, inland up San Diego Creek and back through Talbert Regional Park today. I put my custom big metal seat and a pair of deeper/wider half-moons w/grips from my 51 Monarch Super Deluxe back on. Nice day to get out and pedal.

@SKPC, thank you for the compliments. It is scary fast at times. However the added weight of the water bottle puts it at 29 pounds now.

It's a really nice night here, 81f and feeling great on the body.

So I did an after dinner ride.

Forgot these two.

I rode them this morning before packing them up for the trip to their new home.
Forgot to take photos though. 48 Super Deluxe and 53 Sunliner, both Monarks.

Going to California with an aching in my heart...

Sunset ride around the neighborhood on my '57 Deluxe Hornet. Beautiful evening for a ride.

Goodbye monarks. Now someone else will enjoy pedaling up the western coast of our beautiful country on these. I'm sure they won't be your last. If you found 5 you will find at LEAST 1 more. Enjoy the pierce. It looks fast standing still.

@Arfsaidthebee and @Balloonoob Great rides this week!!

Saw the end of the sunset on my way to Kyrene. 1941 New World.

Got home after work yesterday, relaxed for a bit and had a vanilla It's-It while choosing a bike to roll down the street to check out a downtown event.

Chose my custom '79 Schwinn Panther since it was Fenderless Friday.

After fueling up and de-squeeking the seat I made the 4 block journey to "Unity in the Community" event put on by the Chamber of Commerce. Lots of local businesses, food trucks and, of course, breweries!

Some pork tacos from Georgia Boys BBQ and Moondoor Dunkel from Wibby Brewing makes me happy!

The live music from Foxfeather was great as well!

Morning ride out to Rainbow lake while it is still cool outside...1940 Iver Johnson, rolling original Firestone Champion tires.

Great morning for a ride!
