Cruisin' on my Bluebird
@SKPC Gotta be able to fix simple stuff. It’s too easy to get several hours of walking away from your departure point on a bike. You, in particular, are sometimes out 25 miles from your start. That would necessitate a vehicle pick up or mountain rescue. 
My backpack is full of the things to make my bike roll on, but my skinny spare tube wouldn’t work in Philthy’s MTB tire. He had a spare tube under his seat, but it had a huge gash in it too. Probably an old blowout that just got stashed and never dealt with. We tried the patch, but a valve stem joint is a tough spot to repair. Glad we were right in town.
@dnc1 Ride on!!

Rode the bike trail from the Grosvenor Dale swap to Thompson. Stopped by Riverside Park, rode by some old Mill buildings. Great swap lots of deals to had. I picked up a few smalls. Beautiful day for the swap and ride.

1941-43ish? Shelby made Hiawatha. About 40mi up and down the Cali coast. Hot day, but not Texas or Arizona or Antelope Valley hot!
That's where it's hot. Puncture Flatted today...patched it.
Sturmey 1978 S3C rear. 1948 Sturmey Drum front. Original dog leg crank/hardware with 44t(22) Hawthorne ring. 50's Schwinn Deluxe pedals. This bike stops on a dime. I also busted a nut at the end of the rear seat spring rod under the leather on top of the pan, and it rattled all the way home.

My bro in-law had to change a tube today, he’s had the bike 25 years, never had the tire off the rim, this tube is more than 25 years old, pretty cool.
We rode a closed street family event today, W HTFD, CT; we made it a vintage ride.
Another vintage rider was there, baby trailer on a 1939 bike,

Wore out three sets of tires already!
Had not ridden this one this summer so I pulled it out of storage to limber it up a bit. Took it for a cruise around town for awhile and took a few photos just before dark.
Came up behind this couple riding through downtown and caught a quick action shot.
