mud alien and gator eats bike NGC
lucydad:
All,
One of those work Mondays I got fed up and left early. Extremely nice day, so came home and rolled out the Cannondale.
Mud Alien--park roads still wet and muddy...
Gator eats bike....and yeah these critters do exist around here and on Brazos River....
Been trying to ride at least twice a week. Body loves this stuff. I imagine what I could do if I did not have my crap job, commute, hours sitting on a computer, frustration with coworkers and management, and yeah got control of my priorities, time and such.
Triple Jim:
That looks like a Topeak seat bag. I've used them for years, they're great. I currently have a large one on my road bike, carrying my phone, a Topeak "Alian" tool kit, and a spare tubular tire, with the expansion section zipped closed. That leaves room to unzip the expansion section and carry the odd tool or two that I find lying on the road and take home. Or some food, etc..
Randown:
I have the medium but use a minimalist top-tube bag for a flat repair kit most of the time as I've become somewhat of an aero-weenie.

Triple, Ran:
Yep, a Topeak. Did some interweb searches after I discovered the cool and expensive Cannondale bag the shop sold me could fit my keys and maybe a chapstick.
I always carry a cellphone. Nice expandable bag, and I had to have the Alien too: useful when I start riding early morning dawn this summer (May). Need a front light too.
I think the bicycle riding is aiding my over all health, and core muscles: ==> longer motorcycle rides.
Talked with neighbor last night, she works at bike shop. Showed her my new Trumpet. She spends on average $5K-$7k/bike. Amazing what they get for bicycles these days, but that is her passion, and that is ok, I get that.

Other than a ride with friends I never could get into the idea of riding a bicycle or going for a walk with no place to go. So, I started to commute to work. 22 miles one way. Did that for about ten years and Marion and I both were in great shape. To this day, I do not know why we stopped bicycle riding. Our Cannondales have been hanging in the shed the better part of 15 years now. :( Maybe one day....... :BEER:
