Nice day for a ride...


                        Antonio and Rose from Sacramento out for a ride on a beautiful day.



While driving to the Bay Area from Sacramento, I was passed by an interesting looking bike. As I pulled into the rest stop, I noticed that the bike had also pulled in . Usually it seems I'll see something interesting on the road, and not get a chance for a second look. The paint work on this bike caught my eye. It's a nice copper hue. As it turned out they were from Sacramento. After introducing myself, it turned out that they were very friendly, and didn't mind talking to a chatty blogger, and agreed to pose for a blog picture. We had a nice talk about bikes and blogs. Rose had talked her brother Antonio into a ride out to Halfmoon Bay, to enjoy the ocean air...and have dinner at a nice place. Good plan, it's going to hit 95-96 degrees F in Sacramento today. It'll be 20 degrees cooler, or more on the coast. Antonio said it is an anniversary model. Rose says she is teaching her brother how to navigate on a computer, so hopefully they will find the blog and get to see themselves.

Home made in America.....


Here's Daniel with his home brewed 'Motor Driven Cycle'...or is it a moped because it has pedals?



Anyway...take one J.C. Higgins frame, a motor from China, some assorted bicycle parts and some really groovy red tires....and some skillful assembly...and you too can connect with your inner Rollie Free.



Zoom Zoom!


The afore-mentioned Mr. Free




Speaking of home made...in Scotland, The staff at the Cub Mag came through . 
The first Cub Mag arrived with a T-shirt and cool coffee mug. Here's a shot from the 'Shameless promotion' department.  It's a great read and fits into my mini laptops carrying case perfectly.
