Hey all! We have a new member, BikeGuitarist, who is well known in Northern California and Oregon for riding a Schwinn ten-speed bicycle while simultaneously playing a Fender Stratocaster guitar. He has done this tens of thousands of miles the past thirty years, all on the same bicycle: a 1977 Schwinn Sportabout (sort of like a cross between a Varsity and a Continental).

BikeGuitarist would really, really love to hear from any of us who may have seen him out and about. If you remember seeing BikeGuitarist, could you please let him know? Either send him a PM, or drop by his website. Either way, it would be cool if we could gather some memories.

Here's his website:

Fascinating! As many of you know, I grew up in San Jose, and lived briefly in Sonoma County. I don't remember seeing BG, though. I know that if I had, I would have remembered him!

I keep my guitar playing and bike riding separate like Church & State...I think about playing when I ride & I play and I'm thinking about riding...Never though about doing the two, I don't think I have a long enough guitar chord laying around any where. Could be an expensive crash!:eek:

Acoustic!

In fact, a banjo or even a ukulele would be a better size for a quick little ditty while cruising down the tarmac.
