The 7 y/o grandson finally getting into bikes. Addiction to Youtube and video games hindered his cycling development haha. I was going to get him a nice 20in BMX for his birthday this summer but I think he's going to be more of a mountain biker. He just wants to ride the trails all day.

You guys have some amazing places to ride in.


I live in a very built up, industrial area. High population. Very busy traffic. Narrow roads, hilly.


When I look at the pics on here, I just drool....long highways. Wide open roads. Ocean views.


Love it!

Holiday. Rode downtown.

I taught my photo class how to shoot for panoramas then stitch them together in Photoshop. ]. As a bonus I showed them how to make a "Tiny Planet" from their panos. I figured I better do one too,
so of course I included my wife and her bike.

Spring is here in the deep south. Y'all come down.

great photo!

It's been warming up here in the midwest, but nothing growing yet. A few more weeks before that happens, but it's still nice just to go out for a ride without having to wear booties!

whoa! :thumb:

Nice crack in the cloud cover yesterday afternoon

Now that's whoa!

More typical view

Here's a closer shot of the spirit mountain, captured with a buddy. Looking at the east side.


I also like this one of St Helens. So clearly shows where the lahar flowed.

Great pix!

I recently found this map of Rainier lahars at volcanoes.usgs.gov kind of sobering ...

Good to see there has been enough rain to begin to turn central CA hills green (at least for a few weeks).


Here's hoping CA gets lots of little rain events all year long.

It's still the middle of ski season up here.
5" new overnight at my favourite spot.


edit: Your pic didn't show for me, but I'm sure it's not snow.

ummm...

what happened there? looks there are still some threads on the crank where the arm attaches?

It's ok. I just didn't go back and re-torque it after 50 miles after completely tearing the old bike down and completely redoing it. It had been hanging in my father's garage since 1982.

oh man.... that's one of my fears! I've seen at least one person by the roadside trying to figure out what to do about a loose crank bolt, and really, without the suitable wrench, your only options are to walk home or learn to pedal with one leg.

It was this fear that made me buy the "Cool Tool" back in the day. A great little tool for C&V bikes, but a novel feature is the 14 & 15mm crank bolt socket that can tighten up that critical bolt (or nut). A rather hefty tool, but very useful....

(haven't had to use the crank bolt socket yet, and I'm not complaining)
