[MENTION=429363]DQRider[/MENTION] Fantastic scenery and bicycle photos as always. I can't wait to visit the Twin Cities next month. We are close to confirming the dates and then I can decide which bicycle bring along.

As for me I only took a couple of photos on my VERY early morning 25 mile ride yesterday (530AM). I rode over the new bikeway connector to Randall's Island from the South Bronx. The trip over is now exponentially better than riding over the Triborough Bridge. Under the 3rd Ave Bridge a mobile "DNA truck" was taking an early morning rest before business hours began.

Afterward we went down to take the ferry to Governor's Island for some fun with the little one. We took the first ferry at 10AM (free) and spent a good part of the day there. "The Hills" on the Island just opened this week and the views of Manhattan are spectacular. The newly constructed slides were a favorite of both big and small.


Resting before the start of a busy day.

Thanks!

Hey, thanks a lot. I took that shot with my iPhone 6 in pano mode (I guess I had just the right amount of beer with dinner that night or something). This phone blows away my Canon point & shoot and in a much smaller package. Great for bike rides!

Sunday funday 5am Monsoon ride.

That's beautiful!

Daughter asked to go for a ride today. I've got sooooo much to do, finish the club mag tonight, clean the house, prune fruit trees before holidays, pack for holidays. But, daughter asked to go for a ride and I will never say no to that.
So took the Miyata Valley Runner for a valley run. Daughter has named this rig the 'Millenium Falcon', I was Han Solo and she's Rey. Bikes and Star Wars, my kid and I have lots of fun.

Another Ride on the Hastings Trail
 

I've posted these to a couple other threads, but they fit in here as well. Went back to Hastings, Minnesota again today, and brought my friend Ian this time. He rode his old sixty-something Dunelt, in red, and I rode my blue Velo de Ville this time.

The light was diffused by some moderate cloud cover, and that lent a nice, soft quality to the photos:

Last weekend, I rode right past this sculpture without even seeing it - unless they just put it out there this week...

When the sun popped out from behind the clouds, I took advantage of the brief, bright interlude and shot this:

Another weekend, another excellent ride. How much more of this can I stand? :cheers:

Those are beautiful photos.

A little bit of voltage over Lake Michigan.

Thanks, Arex! It's been a good year for photography.

Actually, this was Thursday morning while I was on vacation ...

... and the '71 Gitane TdF was a bare frameset I built up as a road fixed-gear.

I was in Chicago for a family wedding and got a chance visit the Museum of Science & Industry where they had a small "Art of the Bicycle" exhibit, including a mix of old & new. Here are a few of the old ones on display:

Wow. Broomsticks in lugs... who knew? That looks like a fun exhibit.

Is that a knurled footpeg for freestylin' I see? So they were Rad in the good ol' days! :bike2:

Thanks for sharing, Gaucho.
Pretty cool.

Classic and Vintage PB&J.

Here are a few images from my ride on the Root River Trail yesterday:

An old gas station in the little town of Petersen.

When viewed from the trail, some of these old farms look... arranged or composed somehow - for best viewing from the trail. "Which is nice..."

http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...pshlmibiwj.png
Just off the trail in several places, one finds these nice gravel roads to test your `grinding skills on.

Beautiful architecture, some of the brick buildings are magnificent.

If you are ever in the area, the Root River Trail is definitely worth a visit.

Thank you. I took the pics at work where we have lavender growing all over the place.
