This morning I rode the Volae as I intended to swing by the store and pick up some groceries on the homeward leg (big milk crate mounted on my rear rack). The ride was only 16.5 miles but the sun was out and traffic was light.

I went back out after lunch on the Tour Easy. It quickly turned from sunny to overcast and I ended up sprinting for home when a rain shower popped up. I had my camera with me and didn't want to risk getting it wet. Only 15.28 miles after lunch.

EDIT: The weather cleared up and I got in a 10 mile Ice Cream Run after Dinner. I stopped to help a gentleman and his little girl on my way home. She was riding along on her bike as he walked the family pet Huskie. She had fallen and jammed her chain between the big ring and the chain retention ring. It took me holding her bike up in the air and him stomping on the chain to free it.

Down side, during the short time we worked on her bike, the Huskie knocked over my Tour Easy ! I almost had a heart attack! Fortunately it appears the only damage is a scraped up edge on my MirorCycle mirror. I think I can resolve it with a piece of emory cloth. The important thing is...we both rode away and everyone was happy. More here...http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...Tour-Easy-Down!!
