Tough Ride



This past friday afternoon I took a ride on the fox river trail heading south from Batavia into Aurora. Beautiful ride, fast, empty space with lots of tree cover and a nice paved path. On the way home, I came across this solo war protester and as I sat there taking pictures I became totally moved by his act. It was the end of the business day, of course I was already well into my ride, but the commuters were well into their rides home. With a light breeze to keep "old glory" a movin' an a simple sign
- "NO WAR".

New Family Member




We have added a new family member. My wife's Electra Townie 7 speed.
My wife has had a serious back problem for awhile and after a long search and riding many bikes we found this Electra Townie which has feet forward technology. This puts her feet out in front of her and geometry is just perfect. Almost zero pain.
