Yes, he is a bit... different, but in a good way, at least in my opinion. Not a bone of pretense in his body. Not a leach, it's part of the collection of scabs; it goes with the other ones on his leg.
The first time he showed up to ride with us, he was riding an ancient Schwinn with badly out-of-true rims and a playing card clipped to his fork that made noise in the spokes. He shows up with all kinds of bikes; yesterday he showed up on this:
A gorgeous 3-speed path racer, some brand I've never heard of before.
This is the rest of the cyclists gathering for yesterday's ride. We had about 4 dozen riders for the pub crawl again.
The orange Schwinn near the front left of the pic is mine.
