Did the 40+ mile OC Beach ride; morning Light on a new favorite Curvey Cruiser 1938 Oriole, Murray built.
Amazing response to "seat post steering"; rebuilt new wheels, tires, and chain.
Super comfortable "McCaskey Bars", and Elgin stamped restored
@rustjunkie saddle, just to point out the high-lights.
I literally fell in love....

This is where I fell; hit the wall at the planter overcompensating for a pedestrian walking on the sidewalk.
I got up, banged my wheel backwards on the light pole, until it looked better and turned normally, and rode home, less than 2 miles.
Super-fortunate, totally blessed.
The bike can be fixed to good-as-new.
Before and after below:
