Here's a picture I took on the Santa Monica Pier in the summer of 1989. Love that huge backpack and old school helmet!

I don't know, other than the helmet, that could have been taken yesterday for all I know. There's amazingly little to date it and I still see people using those helmets!

I guess it depended on where you live and who you rode with, I had that helmet in blue / white and wore it all the time.

Here's some more.
Along the beach path.
When Venice Beach still had some glamor (before the Promenade was built).
A hot summer day.
Guerrilla filming.
Palm tree lined street in Beverly Hills.
Hollywood.

Nice pics. Thanks for posting.
That first one looks kind of like my commuting getup from the early 1990s.

I had a blue and white helmet. Only the helmet wasn't the thing colored, it had a helmet cover.

Mr. Vintage, enlarged. Looks like a nice bike. Plenty of seat to bar drop, and Pcad approves of his socks. Mottled red/yellow bar tape?
