This is an topic from Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge back in 2020:
This week’s CFFC topic is Anything to do with bikes, trikes or motorcycles or even unicycles. So many things that you can photograph for this week.
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge
If you’re wondering about the bunny, he showed up when I was searching for Trikes but I only types ‘tri’ – Anyway, I know someone who likes bunnies, so…
Thanks Jo. I think the bunny snuck in on purpose, but he’s welcome.

Bunnies and bikes! Has a nice ring to it. I used to love riding my bike. Then for years I didn’t own a bike anymore. Decided I wanted to ride again, bought a bike, but found my legs just weren’t up to the task anymore. Bummer. I still think bikes are such fun, offer great exercise and are a great alternative means of transportation, at least in good weather!
You owned some impressive bikes Dan.

Thanks Ginger. Unfortunately, I really can’t ride much anymore. I injured my shoulder several years ago, and since then, I can only ride for about 30 minutes before my neck and shoulder start to hurt. Then again, I used to ride on the roads around here, and that isn’t safe for anyone anymore.
I had some very good times on two wheels in my life. I think I’ll quit while I’m ahead.

That would do it. We were lucky as Vancouver was good for year round riding except for the occasional snow. (He won’t ride in snow). And now Spain is perfect. I no longer ride with him. The deal was when we retired to Spain that I would write books and he would ride his motorcycle. It has worked out well for both of us.
I bought my motorcycle in Seattle, and I could ride it there year round (with a rain suit). We only had snow a couple times. In fact, I rode it through Vancouver in May 1981. Up the Frasier River Canyon, over to Banff, through the Idaho panhandle and back across Washington. My longest ride ever.
Great job with the challenge. We have soooo many of those Lime bikes and scooters. People just leave them anywhere and often sideways, blocking sidewalks. I feel badly for folks having to navigate around thoughtless hipsters who leave them like trash wherever they fancy. Ours is a very pedestrian neighborhood with loads of SUV sized strollers; when the sidewalks are blocked, it makes it difficult to get around those e-bikes and make strollers have to 4-wheel drive in rutted snow paths. Sigh.
One of our main streets switched from four lanes to two lanes and two bike lanes. Automobiles were still driving in the bike lanes until the city painted diagonal lines and added reflector lights. Drivers said, “Sorry. Old habits die hard.” Bikers were so freaked out!!
Smokey looks great on that bike! Gun the engine, little guy!!
Smokey is adorable.
Holy moley! Bikes and busses. And the city pays people to think like that…😲😬

Here in India, most people ride 125cc bikes and scooters. You’ll even find YouTube videos where they go a week into the Himalayas using that and it works. Youth (18 to 25 age) prefer 250cc to 400cc bikes of Yamaha/Honda/KTM and only those who have deep pockets go for 650cc and above because one also needs to consider the repair and maintenance and insurance cost. I prefer trains which eliminates all those costs (winks).
Thanks Teagan. The shadow is why I like that photo.

Our bikes haven’t gotten much action lately either. It’s gotten to the point where e-bikes are much more common around here than regular bikes. People (often kids) ride them like motorcycles and (often kids) ignore traffic signs and signals. I love the pace of a non-electric bike. Assuming traffic isn’t an issue, you can enjoy the scenery and get good exercise.
Me too!

The car chasing the bicyclist is pretty funny. You gotta wonder.
Fun picks, Dan. We can’t bicycle where I live – no shoulders, blind corners, and giant logging trucks, but I was just biking on the carriage roads in Bar Harbor a couple of months ago. I hope you’ve done that, or will someday. Great photos!
Man, I dig those bikes at the Pomona museum!
FYI: You are the latest entry in my Adventures in Blogging series, Dan…
