Yeah, I’m a bike nerd.

I could go on about this bike, but I won’t. It’s really pretty and works really well. It was built by a friend of mine for a bike show. To see some “glamour shots” of it, follow this link. http://royalhcycles.com/steves-cross/

I’ve ridden bikes for a long time and it still gives me a great deal of pleasure. I used to race a bit,

Old school!

but now just ride for fun.

Yeah, we’re shucking and eating oysters during a ride.

I also collect bikes, don’t worry I still ride them. Here’s a few – select for a slide show.

Cyclocross – for on and off road.

Road – for, obviously, road.

Rando – for riding like a Gentleman and perhaps wearing an article of tweed clothing!

 

I instruct some “spin” classes, but still like to get outside and ride. Please click on a picture.

Some tiny climb in the Pyrenees, I’ve heard it’s been important in some bike race they have over there.

I remember it looking lunar.

Too big to ride, too tired to climb on them.

Glad it was a nice day. It would have been heck in the rain!
