Claremont Cruising...

no beach required.

Flip-flops and sandals permitted.

Just another warm day in sunny Southern California.

Slow Sunday scenes from the Village...

a little Ireland in Claremont

chopper style

procession in pink

solo pink

ready for the farmer's market

good morning for a bike ride

any port in a storm, or trash receptacle when

there is no bike rack

wait; there are no hills in the Village

busy crossing

orchids and sunflowers

patriotic lamp post

shirtless tandem. that kind of day

fresh strawberries

corner, 2nd and Yale

One last thing; it is good to see our public elected officials participating in the active transportation lifestyle. While having breakfast at the Grill this morning city councilman Sam Pedrosa rode by. I was not fast enough to take his photo, but since it is not the first time I have seen him on his bike, maybe I can get him the next time.

Some weekend...

yes, some weekend we had around here; 70º weather (I think it even topped 80º on Sunday). The skies were blue, the trees were in bloom, and the bike racks were bursting; everything as it should be.
The bikes around here come in all shapes and sizes; well represented are the "townie-style" such as this bright red and white Schwinn Legacy with improvised basket for toting all those textbooks around. Parked outside the 1963 Garrison Theater on the Scripps College campus, Claremont Colleges, the Schwinn's simple design contrasts with the intricate mosaic mural by Millard Sheets depicting scenes from Romeo & Juliet, King Lear, and Antony and Cleopatra.
