I had a great ride today on my 1940 Western Flyer to the Circle City Cycle Truck Convoy...

Pretty strong headwinds the last 14 miles
That NH cycle truck is pretty cool. Maybe it will make its way back home sometime.
 
Took my little French bike out for its first shakedown spin, a few laps around Wallingford, amounting to about 2 miles. At least the newly built wood rim wheels survived the pounding from our "mean" streets!
I think it looks pretty good in the town square.View attachment 480022
and outside the old hospital.View attachment 480023
Rides OK, but not perfect yet; the driveside crank has a slight twist near the pedal junction, rendering the pedal not quite square.
Nothing a little heat and brute force won't solve.
Been fettling my Rochester too, took that for a little spin as well, still rides as lovely as ever, even if it is a little weather-beaten!
My favourite ride, seen here alongside Wallingford town hall on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.View attachment 480024
Fettling is a perfect word.
 
WIth new cog, chain, front tire and tube plus a lot of help and advice from other cabers my Pierce is finally on the road again after a few months of downtime!

Happy riding everyone!

How about a close up of the new driving bits? It's always fun to divide and multiply to find the gear inches.
Front teeth / back teeth x wheel diameter = effective wheel size in inches!
 
To commemorate todays 200th. anniversary of Karl Drais and his first ever bike ride went out early with my Rochester.
Had to drop my car off at the repair shop early and took the bicycle along for a lovely ride to work before 6am, down roads I haven't ridden in a few years.
For a machine that's around 118 years old it rides beautifully......

At the little road bridge over the River Thame, near Drayton St. Leonard (that's not a typo, there really is a River Thame, as well as the more well known Thames).....

Near the old 17th. century gateposts in the hamlet of Ascot. There are 3 pairs of these, all that remains of a grand country house that "mysteriously" burnt down on the eve of its completion during the English civil war.....

The sun broke through the clouds and really made the ride a little more special, a gorgeous day for riding our machines.....

Ride on Baron!
