Hello from texas
Hey guys! Getting back on a bicycle after forever without riding one. When I was a kid I used to race BMX but I haven’t touched a bike in 20 years. I finally got around to restoring my parents 40 year old austro Daimler bicycles back to their glory days. My dads was a Vent noir 2 in smoke chrome and my mothers was an Olympian in that beautiful cream color. Been going through a tough time and focusing on riding and cleaning those bikes up has helped immensely. Stoked to be back on it. Can’t wait to get a newer bicycle one day and a mountain bike as well. Hopefully you’ll be seeing me on here a lot more. Thanks! -Eric

I’m in Tyler Texas. Just been riding around town so far. I wanna get into mountain biking as well once I have some stamina and it’s not blazing hot! That and possibly take off to another state and go ride. That sounds like a good time too!

Welcome to the forum. If you can keep riding during these summer temps, the rest of the year will be like a walk in the park.

hopefully you have a good light! I rode 20 miles last night. My furthest so far in somewhere close to 6 weeks of riding. I started at 3 miles lol. I tried to go for a ride this afternoon. My first daylight ride. It was miserably hot and humid. I made 7.5 miles before I tuckered out and went back home

Hey there, Vintagerose!
The light’s okay, I’m actually in the market for a better one.
I do the same thing. I split my rides up into a mid or late morning one and another between ten pm and midnight-ish. Works pretty good when it’s as hot and muggy as it has been here lately.
Detailing my fixie in preparation for tonight’s ride right now haha.
