I modded the one that landed in my hands by stripping the paint and adding other Schwinn stickables to it.

Farewell yellow pedestrian bridge, it’s been a blast. Especially your fun little downhill on the west side. The boring replacement in a “safer” location will never compare.

Also spied this potential future CABER!

Haven't been over to the old Rancho Los Amigos in a couple of weeks and now about 1/2 of the 100 yr old buildings are gone ( I've been riding here around 55 yrs. ), sad to see but yrs of neglect, vandalism and the homeless have taken it's toll so we'll see what happens next, about a 1/3 has been developed sense I use to ride my 63/4 Lime StingRay around there!, now I'm on a 41 ACE. Oh ya, building in the last pic I spent many great nights partying after going to local clubs and meeting girls that were medical students at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center ( they came from all over the US ) some of the south campus was used for student housing so more memories bulldozed!

Back in England now and out on a ride with the V-CC yesterday (Saturday).

It was some 20°Celsius cooler here compared to Mallorca (8° Celsius when I started out) and I had to resort to a wooly hat and gloves, but thankfully it soon warmed up for the day.
I was riding the 'Ciclos Minaco II'.

I set off early for the ride start in Abingdon and stopped for a coffee before joining the others.....

...spot the little crocheted tribute to Her Majesty atop the post box.
As I set off to the other end of Abingdon I noticed some bicycle related action occurring underneath the old County Hall building.....

...it was the monthly bicycle maintenance event with free advice and help, but I spotted this unusual 'rig' that one of the mechanics was using to transport his workshop equipment.....

...interesting, belt drive and a 14 speed gearbox set up!

Back to the ride proper. Ben travelled over 50 miles to come along with us, bringing his immaculately restored 1913 'Sunbeam'.....

...also out with us, Murray's always wonderful 'The W.E.J. Cycles' '59 Special model.....

...I was hoping to ride over 50 miles, but gave up at 42.3 miles when my chain snapped on my way home!
Luckily, my friend Jamie spotted me as I was walking home, pushing the 'Minaco', and very kindly gave me a lift home in his car.
Not a bad day at all.
