Turned back by Mother Nature! Tonight’s ride POINT seven miles…

Hello all, I have yet to turn back from a ride because I was too tired, too sore, it was too windy… Or for any other reason that I can remember.

I thought about it.. But because of back surgery I can't do the lower handlebars. I can sit upright and ride a hybrid for 30 miles without problem, but I cant go around the block on the Schwinn.

Garage sale bikes part swap.. Will it work?

Picked up a spare/loaner at the police auction

Hello everyone.

I had to lighten the mood.

It’s been one of those weeks. I’ve pinched a muscle in my back (Man I feel so old!) so I haven’t been on the bike. And it seemed like nothing could go right…

Now, at times like this I am a firm...
