I can't remember a time without a bicycle! I enjoy recreational riding; just for the fun of it. I've participated in some centuries and local group rides. I'm not the racer type but am interested in trying a brevet. There are quite a few to choose from in Florida. Who knows, if the weather is favorable this may be the year. This picture was taken during the 4-A-Breast ride in October 2011. Those in Florida will recall the "weather event" we had!

Single Speed Road bike
Description:  Got a folder for travel and general fun. She will be called Francine Greene and is actually from Critical Cycles, but Greenspeed seems appropriate! Original gearing is 48x16. Tried a 14 but that took some quick and nimble away, so I went with a 15 for best rideability. Added fenders early May!

Cruiser bike
Description:  Got this bike from a friend that couldn't sell it for $5! She figured I could do something with it. A 1971 Murray Monterey that I refurbished with a Sturmey Archer 2 speed kick-back hub; very cool ride. She is called Magdalena 2!

Touring Road bike
Description:  Just acquired this from a neighbor. Not sure of mileage but it looks and rides like new!

Lifetime Odometer: 13.0 miles

click to enlarge 1989 Nashbar Race SIS
Road bike
Description:  I was in the market for a new bike in 2011, 8 weeks before a scheduled century ride for charity. The bottom bracket shell cracked on the old Centurion. I was lucky enough to find this at the LBS, and with wheel change, I was down the road. It's all Shimano 600 ceramic! I like the color; a very masculine shade of Snap Dragon Red!

Lifetime Odometer: 2,366.0 miles

click to enlarge 1978 Raleigh Super Grand Prix
Road bike
Description:  Very light weight fully lugged 62cm frame set. I'm not sure of the actual model or year. I refurbished this bike in the late 1990's before I knew enough to keep track. Equipped with all Raleigh licensed equipment. Per SN appears to be from Nottingham.
