What have you been riding lately?

[JA331]

Rode these two yesterday around the hood. 1998 Cruiser Six and the 2002 Heavy Duti. Both easy riders for post-surgery rehab. So good to be back on the bikes! View attachment 175512View attachment 175513View attachment 175515

Good to hear you are out riding well. all the best to you,

Let the day begin. A bit over 21 miles this morning. The 26 x 2.125 tires on this iteration of Big Red transformed it into a totally different bike. Very nice ride.

I been riding the benches lately. Haven't gone out furthur than a block in three weeks! I gotta get some saddle time in, for I know that the time is near...

Beautiful spring day for a shakedown ride on the f’ugly 4 gill. All good except for a squeaky saddle which i fixed on my return to the office. Had it wound up in top gear and she’s pretty fast.

[Bike from the Dead]

I've been test-riding Bad News around the neighborhood these past few days. I had to practically learn how to ride a bike all over again, but I'm getting the hang of it now.

Man, are your feet ever close to the ground! I thought Good From Afar was a tough stance to manage, that is plum crazy!

 

[MaX-D]

At least if he wrecks and falls off the bike, Injuries and carnage will be minimal.

Officially addicted! BFTD goes low... I went high.

That is a nice derailleur hanger. Er, I mean v brake mount. Er, I mean tensioner.
Yeah. I think that's what I mean.

That they are! I've scraped the pedals at least a few times just learning how to steer this thing! It is crazy, but I wouldn't have it any other way! Also, you might have given me a new idea for a paint job on this bike!

It also helps that I can't get it to go that fast either!

Dang, I thought my bike was a beast to ride! Yours is on another level! How do you even get on that thing?!

 

[JA331]

Another beautiful spring day to be out riding. Had this beast of a ride wound out a few times today in the top 2 gears and have come to the conclusion it needs a front brake. The coaster brake on the Nexus 7 seems much weaker than the coaster brakes on any of my other rides and definitely not skid worthy. Have a great weekend everybody.

Hmmm. This was on my mind when I chose those words...

We on the same wavelength?

Same exact way @yoothgeye does.

Just need a little forward momentum. I can push off going up hills as well. Have to sit forward when climbing steep hills, front lifts slightly.
Wish I tried tall bikes sooner! Visibility is one of the best parts. It's easy, a lot of fun and pretty quick too... Going up, staying up.

ciao

My brother had a 69 Swinger in Hemi Orange. Very underrated muscle, IMO

Cue up Aerosmith's Back in the Saddle

"I'm riding, I'm loading up my pistol
I'm riding, I really got a fistful
I'm riding, I'm shining up my saddle
I'm riding, this snake is gonna rattle"
