....because the Motobecane Mirage is clamped in the mag trainer like one of Winthrop's sinners condemned to the stocks. I've kept it there for winter indoor riding and for rainy days but our weather has been so good lately the Moto jus gets dusty - no totally rainy days. The 3 road bikes and the Trek MTB serve in rotation.
Actually we're having some great riding weather. Last night was JUST beautiful here in eastern Pennsylvania.

Those Ergals sound dangerous. There's a reason they're out of production.

I haven't ridden my 2011 Surly Crosscheck because I think that the tubing tapers are so much more refined & elegant on my vintage bikes. Even my 1985 Sekai Bigfoot has delicately tapering chain stays, for example. In comparison the Surly looks like a soup can.

I haven't ridden any bike since I crashed my Cannondale on June 1st. Separated my left shoulder and bent the front wheel of the bike.
My shoulder is still a bit sore but I can finally lift my arm above my head. I've still gotta get a replacement wheel for the bike.
Maybe in a couple more weeks I'll venture back out.

I took out my Peugeot last weekend for the first time this year.
It was in the back corner of the bike room with somebodies three wheeler parked in front of it.
I put on a new Wrights saddle and went for a nice long ride.

Well i did ride today but haven't since the end of march due to a torn calf muscle. Felt good too if a little strange. Wasn't hammering like i used to.
i usually ride a different bike for about a week then switch . C & V cos i have nothing from this century
