A blog about bicycling by a newcomer to the sport. No Spandex, no gear ratios and no nonsense. Just cool bikes, cool accessories and the fun of casual cycling.
A rented bike in Bruges re-introduced me to how fun casual cycling can be. My best cycling outings are with my lovely wife and darling daughter.
After buying a 70s-era Mercier mixte, I was smitten with vintage bikes and accessories. This blog seeks to share those interests with you and occupy some of the time now devoted to obsessively buying bicycles and gear!
Me and my chum, about to depart for the ride. If you look between my right arm and hip, you can just see the tiniest bit of the picnic basket mounted on the rear rack of the Superbe. It looked smashing... sorry it didn't make the photo.
Thank you, Aaron! I've warned Fiona that her mom and I intend to rent the dorm room next to hers at college when that day comes. I can't imagine having her far away! It goes quickly, doesn't it?
Glad you have a riding partner! Mine are grown and live 800 miles away! At least they are on the same continent now.
ReplyDeleteBTW need a picture of the basket! Three speeds just look better with wicker baskets.
