heading east on a perfect morning

happy october, st paul

late commute, perfect shadowtime

framing up fall

solitude

pure shadow

action shots and a burst of sunshine

shadows from a shuttle trip

b took these with her phone as we were driving home from her soccer game. she said, "dad, these look like bikeonastick pictures." looking at them, i totally agree.

reflections on the fitz

you know it's fall when...

you need to pick the leaves outta your chain

ahead of rainmageddon

supposed to start raining hammers and anvils soon, so my poor bike and outerwear choice had me heading home from work a little early.

framing up fall

yeah, shadows

another sunny commute, another couple of shadows.

a fender-y morning

wow, looks like a niner

but it's not.

ok, coulda used some fenders...

started misting when i got to the end of my driveway, this morning. while it might have been nice to have fenders and raingear, i needed the easy spin on my 32x16.

bikeshadow... on the way to the race

and this was after i cleaned it

not enough people saw this view of my bike, today... oh well, i had a hoot. not bad for an old man who didn't train.

loaded for tha race!

lubing the freewheel's guts

hard to lube a freewheel's innards (and know you really got it). get the wheel spinning, turn the crank backwards, spray lube, and hope. sadly, the free wheel sounds worse immediately following this treatment, but it gets better.
