What bike did you ride today?

-
I am fortunate to live in an area with LOTS of cyclists. And lots of bike related events. Longmont Bike Night has just finished it's 16th year!!! Have been lucky to make it to every ride the last 3 years(including Moonlight Rides which we didn't do this year:(). And rode a different bike each week the last 2 years. Bicycle Longmont is the area bike advocate and does a good job in the community.

Tomorrow we are escorting the "Official Oktoberfest Keg" from Left Hand Brewing to Roosevelt Park where the party is. It will take a better part of the afternoon to visit all the other breweries, cideries and distillers in town on our way.:) When the parade arrives at the park, the Mayor taps the keg to kick off the party and pours all of us a beer! Can't wait!!!

P.S. That sweet little Columbia would make a great Pig Bike. Just sayin'....;)

I’ve followed the Mr. Money Moustache blog almost from the beginning, and my sister (who rides) lived in Boulder for years. So I was already a bit familiar with Longmont’s legendary bike culture. Looking forward to seeing pics of the monthly rides :)

You just blew my mind with the Pig Bike suggestion (had to look it up). I also noticed there seems to be enough BB clearance to install a full sized crank.

Coincidentally I ran into a man (while riding the Columbia) who told me about his son’s Sears Spyder still hanging in his garage. So I might be back in a muscle bike anyway. Miss the Royce I sold earlier this year.
 
39 Colson Snaptank taking me on our local greenway cruise.
Life is good, but it’s better on a vintage bike!

Thanks for the compliment @tripple3! Haven't done much with the Roadmaster since I picked it up at auction in 2016. Will be getting a full overhaul this winter. ;)

24" bikes make great muscle bikes for todays adult. Especially with a longer crank! Will be watching when you get to work on your Columbia.:sunglasses:
 
@hm. a few of us rode the same beach bike path today, watertower to Wedge and back.
I left for Balboa from FV, and met @kevin x on the SA river-trail on his way there from HB.
We met @lounging & @cyclingday at the end of the peninsula unloading their bikes.

I split off the trail to head home, with a stop at the vet's for the kitties.
Great double-ride of OC beaches today.
