[MENTION=418438]TimothyH[/MENTION] - that’s very well done.
Exudes PNW....... in at least one way.
let me find my EM street art shot.



edit: found it. again....



My favorite place on the Olympic Peninsula. Port Angeles.
So many different places to ride from your front door.
(lots of other great towns on the peninsula, too)

Chilly and rainy - so I wrenched a couple for drivetrain tweaks and bike fiddled around. Slow Saturday.




Ready and willing but no fenders, rain gear or desire to clean again.

It was right on the square in Marietta, Georgia.

Land of Gone with the Wind.

Y'all come down.

I just visited Portland, and took a number of pictures of their biking infrastructure, which is truly awesome.

One of the most remarkable discoveries was the commuter tram that runs from a lot of high rise apartments at the Willamette River to a hospital/university complex at the top of the hill. It's a heavily used piece of the transit system (your TriMet ticket works on the tram), and there is NO large parking structure at the bottom. Just three light rail lines and two bike paths and a valet bicycle parking lot that has to be seen to be believed.

I think what impressed me most was the endless stream of patients, doctors, nurses, aides and others commuting on the tram. and realizing that nearly all of them were either going to ride their bikes or take a TriMet light rail to their homes. They all looked fit and happy. I suppose that geography has a lot to do with the success of the tram; they built as many parking garages as they could around the hospitals, which are located on a hill, and there simply wasn't any more room for more multistory parking structures.

Although the valet parking was not entirely full, the surrounding streets had bikes parked everywhere

At first glance I thought you had made one bike out of 3!!!

No balance issues here.
New triplet design for people seeking togetherness?
You role faster with more tires?
Who’s driving this thing?
If all don’t pull together, 2/3 chance you’ll go in circles?

My 74 VW.

A friend and I rode gravel this weekend.

This is Blue Car Body Rd.

An Ideale perspective. Not much gravel, thankfully, on this dry hardpack

Sweet car. As of late, I've become enamored with the classic city car designs. So efficiently beautiful. The bug is certainly one. Also the Nuevo Fiat 500, the original Mini, and the 2CV.

Not really a "city" car, it has a highly modified drivetrain and suspension.

If you are going to have an alter-ego, might as well be a powerful one.
Actually, the now deceased Spanish manufacturer.





Should have hands on bars (not phone), don’t want to tempt fickle gods!

A karma bike, touched and contributed to by so many BF members.
Even a bit of Zeus drillium.

Nice bike for a nice day What’s the ideal downtube angle on a supporting bridge strut?
Over-precautious ? for a rural bike lane.
Work Ahead
One lane
Flagger

well, the flag person had set aside their flag.

The ‘work’was a survey team with a vehicle.

A stellar day to be on the bike.

Ready for the club ride today.

Beach near Moss Landing, CA

Did a three-day tour this past weekend, which included a day ride to a nice county zoo.



Blueberries on the bush.


Came out of the blue.


Go big or go home.

Need to stay alert on a cycle path...

Ahhhhh, MossLanding and the Elkhorn Slough. Quite a kayaking experience if you haven’t done it. Pick your tide times to make it easy peasy. Pack a lunch, beverages of choice. Crazy full of marine mammals and bird life - once it was pink jellyfish everywhere. Totally unique.

My brother called me to help launch his boat and tie it up in it's slip
