my LWB recumbent I instictively reach for the seatbelt. Then I quickly
look around in hopes that no one saw me. Yep, it's that comfortable.

My grandson and his family have been visiting for the past week. He and the great-granddaughter (age 4) took the footbike for trips around the neighborhood. She stood on the front near the handlebars and he did the pushing....they both loved it.

I was so naive when I was young. It was great! Not that I'm sad to have grown older. But times back then were sooo much simpler.

B52s youtube videos. None of them are very good musicians, but in her younger years Kate Pierson might have been one of the most beautiful women in rock and roll.
Earlier this week I learned that she's gay, which is I guess cool with me but it means I never had a chance with her
Bums me out for some reason. She also needs to buy a bike and shed a few pounds now.

And then she'd be all fit and have a bunch of mountain bike tattoos. Oh well, some things are just never meant to be I guess.

The only happiness I had growing up was the time spent on my bike
in my teen years. It was the only escape I had from a miserable childhood
environment of growing up in a house where I obviously was unwanted, and
felt totally unloved. Back then I had wished I'ld never even been born and
came close to doing something about it a couple of times.
So these days my aimless wandering on any of my bikes brings me back to those
old feelings of peaceful stolen moments from a miserable first 18 years or
so. Good old Rock will take me back to my late teens and early 20's where also
I had almost total freedom and escape from those old childhood problems, only
back then I was sitting in a bar guzzling ales.
So for me it's riding a bike and good old Rock & Roll, and occasionally the fisrt sip
of a nice cold beer.

Glad you made it.

Good note DnvrFox, I often think about this. Unfortunately, many memories many describe take me back to times I will never forget. Memories often that take me dangerously close to a precipice of sanity/insantity. As I think I may have posted before, May 20th, 1970 is a date I will never forget. Death of a boyhood friend, 20 years old, who died at my side. He won the Silver Star btw- But his name is on a wall that will last 1000+ years, while I will be forgotten 100 years from now. I'd guess one could say he achieved immortality. I'd like to see his post to this. - Was it worth it Johnny? BTW -= Johnny this one's for you.

Every time I hear "Satisfaction" by the Stones, I flash back to a motel swimming pool at Daytona Beach when I was a young teenager on a family vacation. That song was playing as I walked by the pool and for the first time really noticed how pretty the girls were in their bikinis lounging around covered in suntan oil.
Last fall when I drove to Red Wing, MN, which takes a bit over 4 hours, I played protest songs the entire way. It was definitely a flashback and very therapeutic. When I arrived, I felt I had gotten some things out of my system.
This video & music brings back a lot of memories:

And the song that always gets me going (just a mite controversial) & really brings back the 60s:

Now by Joan:

Not quite as warm & fuzzy as my recent family flashbacks, but, as others have related, there are a lot of different memories that we can flashback to.

There is a young woman at work who reminds me of a girlfriend I had...over 35 years ago.
