Unfortunately, the problem around here is being targeted.

That's so cool. I need a can. I want to spray the permanent stuff on my backpack and straps so I'm visible at night from all directions. I have a little dangley plastic reflector that hangs from my backpack's zipper, but it may as well not exist because it's so small.

Not such a big deal now that the daylight has returned, but in the winter I've longed for a backpack made of reflective material.

It's a little expensive. $19 for 4.5 ounces. I'd like to see those numbers reversed.

It occurs to me there are a number of people having entirely too much fun.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-20-2015, 08:27 PM

Gotta have a spare.

Vintage Electric Bike Company.
When I saw these bikes at NAG I thought they were awfully expensive. But on the news last night they were talking about a car being burglarized and one of the items taken was a $15,000 custom bicycle. Guess I'm out of touch.

Bikes and bike stuffs.

Gotta use them or lose them.

Express yourself, it's later than you think.

There certainly are!

We have fun in Ballard too.

The CycleSaloon!

From the FAQ:

Quote:

Who should rent the CycleSaloon?

Anyone who wants a new and exciting way to do a pub crawl or a brewery tour! We rent the whole Cycle Saloon for private parties where you can customize your own route. Or grab a seat and come along on a tour of some of Ballard and Fremont’s best breweries!

Can the CycleSaloon go up hills?

Little ones. The CycleSaloon was invented in the Netherlands, where it is very flat. Routes with grades greater than 5-6% for any extended distance may require riders to get off and push. None of the hills on our routes have required pushing (thus far….)

Do you provide a driver?

Always. Our insurance provider requires it.

Who’s in charge of the CycleSaloon?

The driver. If you act in a dangerous manner, you’ll be asked to get off and find you own way home. You can imagine the difficulty we had finding insurance for this thing in America. We need to keep it.

The renter. Only one person on each tour can be the renter and that person is the only person the driver answers to. Can you imagine 16 people arguing about when to leave the bar? We don’t want our drivers getting in the middle of that!

They have a pedal-paddleboat too.

Quote:

May 1920. "Sailor Tony Pizzo passing through Washington on a Coast to Coast bicycle run handcuffed to his machine. The handcuffs were sealed by Mayor Hylan in New York April 24 and are not to be opened until his return to that city. Pizzo made a California to New York trip in like manner in 1919."

Must have had a support car with tires and ammo.

I guess back then you would just squat by the side of the road to take a dump?

Tweren't no rupee-dispensing toilets in those days...

Dude looks familiar. And has a flat tire.
