My fully re-built Dahon Classic III with two sandhill cranes. There is one in front of the seatpost and one above the water bottle. Normally, when passing by as they are grazing for grubs in our front lawns they watch me, heads held high at about 48 inches (122 cm). They are shy and slowly walk away if an observer stops to look at them.

Origami at Wompatuck
I bought an Origami Crane 8 last week and rode it to the Aaron River Reservoir at Wompatuck State Park this morning, 20 miles southeast of Boston. The 27-mile ride was my longest ever on a folder. I swapped the seat, added bar ends, Big Apples and MKS EZY pedals with power grips. It fits and rides great.

Peaks Island, Portland, Maine
Enjoyed a quick ferry ride out to this small island. This section features many rock piles with the Atlantic in the background.

Here you go. I bought them largely on faith (and because they shipped directly to me in Jeddah,) but they turned out to be of surprisingly good quality for the price; the plastic is high-grade and the mounting brackets are sturdy. And you've got some colors to choose from.

I ordered 2 sets, both black, for my 2 Dahon Speed folders.

Brompton at the footbridge on Bayou Saint John New Orleans. Posted to if I could get this to work. Is there a way to paste image directly?

Whatever it is that you did there didn't seem to work. You need a link to an image (that's stored somewhere other than Photobucket), which you then either paste into the box that pops up when you click the picture icon above, or just paste the code that sites like imgur generate automatically for you. Photobucket used to work just fine for this before they went all yakuza lately.

you can upload an image directly by using advance, manage media and keeping the file very small, below 150 kb. As in post 656 above.
Resize your photo image in photoshop so that the file is this small and you will be able to attach directly.

You can then use the link to the picture you just attached (which will appear as a thumbnail at the bottom of the post) and paste that into the pop-up box, and put it anywhere within the text of the post.

I tried again to no avail. See my last post. When I go to advanced I do not see a post button to complete the post.

You have to move the page, on the bottom of the screen, to the left. It's a glitch in the site's software. The reply button will be visible then,...

Oh Canada
Up in Newport VT on the Canadian border this past weekend to volunteer for the Kingdom Swim. Nice dirt bike path that used to go right into Canada but now is cut off right at the border, where it has overgrown.

While riding my SteelMaster 16"
One of our more senior residents. There are many gopher tortoises in the areas I ride.

Taking a break today after a lot of climbing in unusually hot weather here in the far north of England.

Took two rides (once Southwest found my suitcase and dropped it at the hotel) in DC. Rode out to Mt. Vernon, which was 38 miles round trip from downtown and took over 2.5 hours to complete after work but completely worth the views, then an easy ride around the mall the morning of my flight.
The view of planes landing at Reagan airport is loud and pretty fun right from the trail.
The best way to sightsee in DC is definitely a bicycle.
