Tour de Fat came to Chi-town, and the Taildraggers were there. If your near one of these cities, the TdF is recommended

Just a few of the parade, something for everyone

This shot gives you an idea of how the streets are cleared, plenty of room to ride the boulevard.

Chicago taildraggers ACTION-shot

Then some entertainment back at Palmer Square Park

Good time,Great weather, I'll leave the cool bike shots to Skipton.

BAD NEWS...the trike was stolen from our basement as well as the back wheel to the auto shift bike that Gary gave to Linda as a gift. I guess no more cruising for me

I gotta get out to one of these rides sometime. I just got my 1961 Schwinn Flying Star up and running. It's gonna need some new tubes and tires though. My fiancee and I will be out at the Cubs game on the 15th so we may or may not be able to make that one.
