We had originally planned on taking our mountain bikes to Wyoming to ride a rail-to-trail but the weather didn't look good so we did a 180 with our direction and bikes and went to Galveston, Texas to cruise the sea wall along the gulf. Also checked out a great bike shop there called Island Bicycle.

Out running errands today and spotted this for sale. We don't need another tandem but it was too nice to pass up. We bought it hoping to pass it along to one of our bike club members who doesn't have a tandem. Edit 06-13-09: Someone from the bike bunch did take it.

Today was City-Wide Clean Up day and we spotted this thrown out to the curb while on a bike ride last night. Not for sure what I'll do with this. These diamond frame 3 speed types were never my favorites. I've cut up and stripped several Raleighs and Schwinns of this type and have the Racer that I never ride but there's something about this one I like. I think it's the black and white, the chainguard and the grip shifter.

I've come to the conclusion that this bike is a 30s Iver Johnson. I finally had some time to strip it down and clean the frame and fork some. I believe I will just be "rat rodding" it. I've entered it in the RatRodBikes.com Rat Rod Bike Build Off #4.

Today we rode the new Planeview path over to the Canal path up to 17th and over to DaNang on Broadway for lunch. Video ...
