I don't know. It's an epidemic I guess.What's going on out there with all the couches?
Others are starting to find them now that they are on the look out. See those here.
From a recent ride to the river.
October, thanks. It's a Black snake (seriously not being funny).
Thanks Pookie42.
Oh I forgot. here's a short video that has the snake in it.
From my ride yesterday.
Here's a couple shots while out riding today. The Heavy Duti one of my most comfortable bikes. Today's ride was 28 miles.
There were a couple of couch finds. Here's one.
I also spotted this yard bike.

This thread and MplsCoaster FIL thread are my favorites. I always enjoy the new posting from each of you guys.
Have you tried talking to the owner about attaining the yard art bike? I really like your Schwinn Heavy Duti and red Huffy 7 speed. I've purchased one of those Heavy Duti frame sets from ind-chuckz and I'm looking forward to making a comfortable multi gear cruiser out of it. Eventually I might go BMX cruiser with it.
Keep these posts coming.

Thanks Nagant I appreciate that.
I too enjoy MplsCoaster FIL thread. Wish I could tell a story like Steve does.
No I've never approached any of the yard bike owners. I just collect the photos
. Have a few here.I'm itching to do something with the Heavy-duti. I may paint it some day. I too have thought about adding a 7 speed derailleur but can't decide. Right now it has a 2spd kickback which is probably all I need. Also thought about making it more klunkerish.
I've already tore down that Huffy. It was just for some temporary build and ride fun.
Yesterday my Mother and I rode a little.
A wet stormy ride this morning.
Hey Randy, I'm just catching up.
I really enjoy your rides and have been reading your great stories on your own website.
I really like the first picture!!! Had to download into my "permanent collection"
The second one looks like the promise of fun
Very cool that you got out with Nova and your Mom and that it was reasonably warm.
Your geo-couching is cracking me up.
Keep up the good work!!
Steve

Steve is really great with words but Randy it's your spectacular pictures that tell volumes of story.
I do read your website now and then but now I see that I need to look at your bicycle pictures galleries more.
I didn't realize you had a 2 speed kickback on the Heavy Duti. I've never owned or ridden one but I want to try one of those hubs someday. For now I plan to use a Worksman heavy duty alloy rear wheel with a Nexus 3 hub. The Shimano 3 speed hubs have worked well for me. Like you I'm on the fence about painting the Heavy Duti. They look good stock but I have the BMX cruiser itch as well.
Any new plans for the Huffy? I really liked how you had it setup as a 7 speed.
I always love your pictures and stories, Randy... I really like your blog too.
Do it! Paint your heavy duti!
I guess I'm in a minority here, but I never really liked the factory paint on the heavy duti.

Thanks Nagant, I sold the Huffy at our swap meet today. The derailleur and wheel set I still have and may use on something else.
Thanks October. If I could pull off a paint job as nice as yours I'd do it in a flash. I too am not really fond of the factory colors. I do like not worrying about beating it up though.
Last night we participated in and were one of the garages on the Midwest Bicycle Swap Pre-Swap Garage Ride.
Bad weather today at the swap but still a good time.

On my last ride of 30 Days Of Biking I went to the store for bananas.
On the way home I spotted a fox and her 2 cubs.
Saturday a few of us did a coffee tour.
Yesterday on a group ride.
Today out riding. This is one of a couple photos I took for this month's Bike Ride & Seek challenge.
Made 6 Geocouch scores today. View them all here.

Exactly... things you don't see when in a car. Thank you.
View from my bike last night.
While riding today I put this sign together from letters laying near-by. This was another one for Bike Ride & Seek.
Another great video Randy!
