Everyone loves a vintage bike

(Since last entry … a ton of snow (OK about four inches) and frigid temperatures.)

End @ 64,725 (19 miles)

AGAIN a total pain in the ass to start the bike. Took nearly 10 minutes, I kept wondering if I flooded the stinking thing.

Rode a few miles over to Steve Johnson’s place to get his input on how to secure my tool roll and a quart of oil in the right-side pannier. Took the long way home just to ride a bit. Once it’s running, the bike is great.

Some random woman in a parking lot wanted to chat about the bike. It’s kind of funny but also very cool. Everyone loves a vintage bike!

They – yes “THEY!” say you should never hang your helmet off the handlebar like this.
