Bike Club In Strathmore

Hello,

If anyone is interested in starting a bicycle club in Strathmore, please drop me a line. I would like to organize a bike to work week for next May or June. I also think that the Town of Strathmore could do more to encourage bike riding and also make it safer.

Cheers,

Sanity Test

I thought I would post this link to a sanity test. Make sure you have sound on, it's pretty funny.

Commuter Bike

Here is yet another bike in my collection (and that still not all of them).

It's a Trek antelope that I've rebuilt. I think the bike is about 10 years old at least, but after everything has been freshened up, it runs well. This is more practical for commuting and generally quite comfortable. I've done several full day trips on this but now it's pretty much just a commuter.

I've got slicks on it and they sure are nice in the summer. Last winter they were a bit hairy in the snow so I think that I'm going to set up some studded tires this winter and see if that makes things a little more controllable.

I also have a superbright headlight that I'll be putting on soon as the days are getting shorter. I usually get to work around 6:45am and soon it's gonna be dark at that time. I'll put up some pictures of how bright it is when time comes to use it.

Have a great day and go ride a bike!!

Fast Bike

Here is a picture of the bike that I rode to work today.

It's a Specialized Allez Comp. This is my fastest bike and even though it's not really set up for commuting, who cares. It's fast!

I've been pulled over by the cops on this thing. It wasn't for speeding mind you, but for not stopping at a stop sign! Around here, I think that 1 in 10 cars and trucks might come to a complete stop before continuing and yet they think that a bike should be pulled over? I didn't get a ticket, but it was threatened. I was quite miffed and every time I see a vehicle blow through an intersection where they were to stop, I get a bit ticked. It makes me want to participate in critical mass or something like that. Maybe I'll organize one for Strathmore!! Me and the other cyclist trying to get 1 ton pick-ups to yield to us, that sounds like fun.

Anyway, I just thought I would post this picture up and have a great weekend!

Cheers,

Jerome

Rockabilly Boogie

Here is a picture of my Rockabillie Boogie that I rode to work today. It's a great bike made by Electra Bike. Super cool, sweet ride and comfortable. It even work well for communting, provided you don't have too much to carry or too far to ride.

1965 Rambler Marlin

Here is a picture of my 1965 Rambler Marlin.

I will be posting more information about the Marlin as time goes on. Most people don't even know what a Rambler Marlin is. I had never known what a Marlin was until I saw this one. Over the course of several months I was able to purchase it. This is an origional car and I even have the origional bill of sale. I've only ever seen one other Marlin in real life, however they are still out there. I think that it's one of those cars that you either like, or you don't like. I've always liked it and it continuously grows on me.

Anyway, hopefully you enjoy.

Cheers,

Jerome
