What bike did you ride today?

Pumped up the tires hard tonight before hitting the canal. The bike rolled tight and smoothly, especially with the wind at my back coming home.

I saw a shooting star tonight that lasted for several seconds, and got so close to the horizon, I thought it would hit the Earth.

Hard to beat a Coppertone Schwinn and that Varsity sure is clean @Sven!


Work has been pretty crazy since the beginning of September when things should be slowing down a bit. Just getting my head above water and was actually able to enjoy a beautiful Colorado evening on my '39 Flying Ace to give it a spirited ride to reeeally give the freshly overhauled pedals and Nexus 3 speed hub a test ride. Ride out to the airport.

Then a few pics on the way back as the sun was beginning to set.

You can see Pikes Peak on the horizon above my bike.

Then stopped fir a 6 pack of tacos a couple blocks from home.

Delicious!!

Happy National Taco Day!!!

It was the first day of the annual, Great Pacific Airshow, so I rode the 1946 Schwinn B6 with some like minded enthusiasts, to check out the action.

Another great day out on the bike.

@Mr. Monkeyarms That Huffy is gorgeous and the pics today look even better than the one you posted on Tuesday. That bike is cool!

Hit the canal again to Kyrene. Not a cloud in the sky. More people coming out now that the temp is dropping earlier in the evening.

The tires were still hard tonight and the 41 Schwinn was silent as it darted across the dark desert. The headlight I use was my only give away as I quickly snuck up behind walkers and cruising bikers. I love how this bike is rolling right now. I can pour energy into the cranks and it never makes a peep, it just speeds the bike forward and silently bobs my saddle...cruising home with the tailwind was effortless. I'm pretty sure this was the performance Frank Schwinn had in mind when he "threw his hat in the ring" with Lightweight bikes in 1938.
