Yep, nor do half of them believe what I say. However I do get a lot of stare when I'm riding with my LED flashlight mounted on my Helmet!
That was in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico about 2 years ago. I think that drink was only $5 and the meal was another $7. The drink alone was enough to make me not finish my plate.

This is rather recent... showing off one of the rather unique bicycles we produce.
This is a reproduction of an 1890's Cygnet that was based on original drawings and plans and what inspired my partner to get onto the frame building business over 30 years ago.
He saw an image of the original in a book and knew he had to build one... now there are 7 of them and several hundred other touring bikes, tandems, a few mountain bikes, and a small number of time trial bikes. Tandems and touring bikes are our bread and butter but we probably do almost as much custom work and restoration.

TravelMama - you look like an actress. Specifically, you look like an actress friend of my wife's who lives in or near Long Beach.
If you have a brother named Marvin, I'm gonna be gobsmacked.

Well, the two restaurants are in the same region! The one I was thinking of is at La Laguna de Santa Maria del Oro, about halfway to Guadalajara from PV.
