Rode my black original Electra Cruiser 1 7.6 miles this morning . Rode into town , around the pond , in and out a few side streets , then back home . A beautiful morning.
This bike has the Maxxis Hookworms on it . I’m really beginning to love those tires . On a single speed , the ride is so quiet. And they coast , and corner great .

nope. yesterday was the mayors hike bike and paddle, and i've tried to do that in the past. but i've barely ridden this summer (or much at all in the last couple years) so i skipped it. my last ride was just around the neighborhood this past weekend testing a bike i'm building.

I rode my Electra Cruiser 1 around the block 4 times. Each lap is approx. 1.5 miles. I'd like to ride it longer, but by this time my sits bones are yelling "stop!".

Took the Roll out for a cruise this morning. Rode to town park and back . 10.1 miles. Nice morning, low 70’s when I started . Be gone back to using MTB saddles . One of these days I’m going to find that perfect saddle , but I’m afraid it’s like the unicorn.

I just ride mine around our neighborhood. We are right off lake Michigan though so we get some nice pictures sometimes when we stop there. I rarely miss a day. I missed one about 2 weeks ago cuz I wasn't feeling well. Otherwise it's been pretty steady all summer praise the LORD!!!!
Our rides are usually only 2 miles approx. But fun.

Rode the Roll for five miles this morning, staying in the neighborhood. . If I’m just needing to get a ride in , the Roll is the one to grab . That or the old Hardrock.

I posted a thread by itself but you might've saw I got a nice night ride in last night with a new set of bars on it. And a new light. I'm digging it.

Rode the Roll this morning 8.5 miles to town and back . Took a couple minutes at the park to rest and to wait for a line of walkers to make it up the hill before I weaved my way through them . I’d ring my bike bell , but they acted like they didn’t hear it , so I had to resort to the phrase “ good Morning! “ to let them know I was behind them followed up with “ on your left “
I don’t know why I even bothered to buy a bell . Maybe I should go back to my Margaritaville parrot horn .
