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.

chopper...

Got to ride this Kona chopper around a little bit today. Apparently they only made a handful of them, and I would guess it is probably pretty unusual to even see one. The geometry was completely unlike anything else I have ridden, so it wasn't until my third time past (going back and forth in the parking lot) that I started to feel comfortable. Turning, with that massive wheel base, was another problem entirely, one I never really did get the hang of. Maybe with some more room to maneuver... This bike is all about looking cool, and in no way is it functional; unless you are riding in a parade. Of course I was in full lycra kit with cleats on my road shoes at the time and probably wasn't working the cool factor to the utmost.
