The "ribbon cutting" is really funny! Sorry it trashed your fence and sidewalk. Great story!
Maybe you can be the first Bicycle Cowboy, now that your retired

Rode this morning to breakfast. First time to ride here.

Grand-daughter and I stopped to do a little klunking on tonight's ride.

Great video, watch your Mom though she was getting crazy with no hands
Looks like a nice ride to breakfast.
Good to see your granddaughter getting more comfortable with her bike (I think)
From a previous video, she looked like she would walk instead of coast down the hills.
Looks like Grandpa is having a good influence
Thanks for sharing

MplsCoaster thanks for your observations and comments.

Nothing epic to report lately. Few pics from riding around locally lately...

Today I believe we set a record for the hottest temperature on this date. It was 93 degrees while I was riding around town this afternoon.


In our effort to rid ourselves of our rented storage unit, I've brought some bikes back home. It's nice to have a wider variety of bikes to ride which are easily accessible. Today I rode this custom Schwinn. 3 speeds and hi pressure middleweight tires make this one of the best riding bikes we have.


This evening, with the temp now at a low 90, I took the Grand-kids riding.


Grand-daughter wanted her picture taken with the flowers.


Here she is oozing cool and attracting a few boys attention.


We tested and admired the new fork I put on the eldest Grand-son's bike. His fork was bent and I picked up this nice ballooner fork with truss rods at the swap meet last Sunday.

Youngest Grand-son was riding his new bike. It's probably geared a little to high but once he got it going he could blast by everyone which he was pretty proud of.

More great pictures. The two bikes in front of the bright colored wall is an awesome pic.

Thanks Clancy.

This morning was a ride with Mom and Pop. Mom and I on tandem. Hoping to get Mom on her own bike soon.

as always great pics and thanks for posting them

[MplsCoaster]

It's great to see you got out with your Parents again.
Hopefully the deer was a good distance away Had one run directly right in front of me once
What kind of bike are you going to build for your Mom?
Great pictures, Thanks for posting them

Thanks everyone. I appreciate you following along.

MplsCoaster... the deer kept their distance. We've had a few encounters but never really close. Did about run into a turkey though. I drug our Hollywood up and out of the basement and dusted it off in anticipation of my Mom riding. Here' the wife riding err... playing on... it last night...

[MplsCoaster]

Great picture. I love the way bikes bring out the kid in everybody
Learned how to ride on a Hollywood at 5 years old, barely cleared the girls frame
Sure your Mom will love it. It's in really nice shape and they roll/ride great
First a turkey then a cow, what next??
