Bikes on Lace

Yeh, I got my second 'Bike-themed' postcard today and it was so special that I thought I'd make a post just about that.

Sure feels like Spring!

University hill straight ahead, & there is lots of snow up there still.

It is a gorgeous Spring day.  I think that it has arrived. I cleaned a little this morning, but I realized that this is the nicest that it has been this year so far, so I better go out and enjoy it!   I bike a lot solo and I really don't mind, I can make the day as I want.

Sneaky bird

Wembley can be quite daring at times, going to places that no normal bird would dare go.

The cake attracts him and Gobo..you should have seen them begging me for my whipped cream/strawberries/angelfood cake.  I gave them both the tiniest piece of plain cake as it isn't good for them.

They are like 3 yr olds so when they are out, you must watch them carefully, as they both like to get into trouble when you are not watching!

Parking woes and other Saturday Ramblings

Not one place to lock a bike up.

Yeh, it's another weekend!

As I am going out for dinner at a restaurant in the above hotel, I decided on my way to the grocery store, that I should stop along the way and scout the new hotel and restaurant out for places to park and lock my bike up.  I wasn't expecting a bike rack, but I found the results much worse then that!

Finally Fenders

For my Winter Beater bike, that is.  I finally got around to getting some and putting them on.  Even though I can use my Rocky Mountain now, I find it useful using the beater bike in the morning when there is still frozen ice on the ground.  The fat knobby tires seem better to handle it then my skinny commuter tires.  I also don't think that we are snowstorm free yet, there is always the possibility until May.  And I'd much rather use this bike in the sloppy mushy dirty snow then my good bike, at least until all the snow is gone.  So it's the best of both worlds, use both as needed for now.

These fenders are better then the ones that I have on the Rocky Mountain as these have mudflaps, which will be great for those sloppy days.   Yeh, no more wet and dirty spray!  The bike has been ok to me, I've done adjustments here and there which is good training for me, as I have no problem playing around with this bike...
