Slow Sunday Scenes from the Village...

a three for one shot

the bike racks at the Colleges are filling up again,

even so these colorfully wrapped bars caught my eye while passing through

more color, this time at the cut-flower end of the farmers' market

loaded up and headed for home, bikes are best for any age, any time

the day's cycle chic photo

there goes michael (not yours truly)

one fully loaded messenger bag

the same woman who walked past in that first photo wearing flip-flops;

across the way, she changed into cycling shoes and was on her way

"You Ride Like My Grandma"...

is sometimes apropos. On the way to the Sunday Claremont Farmers' Market,

while the Ukelele Girls provide accompaniment. Slow Sunday Scenes from the Village, a day late.

Slow Sunday Scenes from the Village...

I was really intending to do a long ride this morning, or maybe a mountain bike ride through Bonelli with the Psycho-List group, but things don't always work out the way we plan. Instead of either of those two options, I was served up a slow Sunday morning. And you know what, it worked out fine. Breakfast at the Grill, the farmer's market, and talks with a couple city council candidates.

one week later and Valentines is still going strong:

 side by side, walking:

 side by side, riding:

 tie-dyed and single speed:

 water fun:

 the perfect vehicle for the farmer's market:

 woof, woof:

 fresh:

 cross traffic:

and finally, I in no way suggest that you cast a vote simply based upon whether a candidate rides a bike, there is after all more to consider, but...

here are two of our local city council candidates who do ride,

Sam Pedroza, who was on his son's fixed gear today

(I have made several mentions of seeing him riding through town in the past, he has been very instrumental in advocating for bike enhancements in the city, as well as the future Gold Line extension): 

and, Michael Keenan, one of the few people who spends more time on a bike than I do

(got to like the mobile campaign sign hooked up to his bike):

A successful trip to market

Farmer's market scene

I cannot be positive, but that looks like an old binocular case being reused as a handlebar bag

Brooms and parasols

Seeing as how I tend to take a goodly number of photos during these slow Sunday's I have decided to try something new. I will show a few of the better or more interesting ones here and provide the link to the more complete slideshow, for anyone who might be interested.

Classic leather saddle.

Elder brother. My own KHS Flite 500 is a 2009 model, the owner of this one peaking around the end of the building said it was the 2002 model.

Framed.

Move On protest in the Village.

Yesterday's long ride in the heat sucked more life out of me than I expected, so even though I had an invitation of ride GMR, I opted to take it easy and just spend a slow day around town.

Blue biking

Sometimes cute comes with a motor

By bike, or by foot, the two best ways for getting around the Village

Cycle chic, but on the sidewalk?

Holding the parasol for his girl

Townies don't get any better than a Bianchi Milano

To market, to marked to buy a...?

Huzzah! Coates/Back Abbey team!

Two wheels, two ways.

This week's C & V at the Velo was all set to be this 1970s powder blue Cycles Gitane mixte with Simplex:

But then this guy rides in to share his Guerciotti and say hey:

I really like that spider. The ones they are producing nowadays [coughShimanocough]

lack a certain style. Anyway, two C & V for the price of one this week.
