I do have a bicycle that came with a case.When I had my last mountain bike, I didn't put on a kick stand; I had a folding wall-mounted holder for it.
I didn't keep it cased when not in use.
What can I say, I have yet to have a bicycle come with a case.
But it did make the garage more interesting. Um...kick stands are kind of...well...they're for very young kids or very old people.
Les, you know I love you, so I'm sorry about what I have to do. She's asleep now, but in the morning, I'm telling my wife that you said she was "very old."Um...kick stands are kind of...well...they're for very young kids or very old people.
Oh, my comment only applies to you. I saw your kickstand in that pic. I haven't seen hers, so...she's exempt!
Which is a great thing! The last bicycle I bought was in the '80s. So there's that.
Nope, her's has a kickstand.
Me too. These old Giant's last forever.
They do. Mine was a Trek; I remember it being comparable in price - though all the models vary quite a bit, I'd imagine.
Wow, exercise and a good deed! Nice ride Dave!! Glad you got out, I was feeling a bit lazy, much better now that I have ridden along with you ;~)) Looks like you had a nice day for it!!!A nice day today. Sunny, but windy and cooler around 15C.
Headed south to Mud bay again...
Couldn't resist seeing if the Nemesis lakes are still there.
Yeah... not doing that again...
Turned around and hit Watershed park, still southbound...
Where has the ocean gone???
Whilst downing some water I could see a guy (seen in the background) with his bike upside down and a trailer. He was wrenching away...
So I wandered over there and asked if everything was OK. He's a younger dad with two small kids in the car waiting to get on the trail.
He asked me if I had an air pump and was admonishing himself for not checking the tires before leaving the house. His was one of those tiny lightweight very small capacity pumps.
I said "have I got an air pump for you!"
I asked him how much psi he liked in the tires, and his response was "I don't know, whatever you recommend." The front had maybe 15psi, and the rear was dead flat. He would have been there for a loooooooong time with that tiny pump.
I got him up to 30psi front/rear in seconds with the Fumpa pump. Dude was so happy!
Felt great helping a guy/family out...

It amazes me that people go out on a bike without their own pump! I would probably blow off the ride if I did not have one!! Thanks for sharing the pix, can't wait to see you in that car chase scene!!!Forgot about last weekends ride. Same old thing...
Lack of sun and heat though...
Train track overpass, and a look down inside a coal car...
Never seen the road blocked off before...
Way in the background you can just see a recumbent trike. Turns out there were two of them, and both Bosch powered E recumbent trikes! I stopped to talk to them. They had ridden here from Bellingham Washington, and were headed to downtown Vancouver!
Found out the road was closed in three different places in order for a film crew to record a car chase/stunt scene!
Yet another pair of cyclists asked me if I had an air pump, Lol! They were trying to pump up flats, but didn't know to open/unscrew the Presta valve, DOH! Fumpa pump to the rescue again!
Another great day!
