49 Mile Ride 2011

Finally went on the 49 Mile Ride. This was a rolling museum. I think there were maybe four bikes that weren't pre 1975. Probably more, but I don't care. There were 300 vintage bikes being ridden. Ridden in San Francisco. Up hills and shit. That is impressive. Some of them were eighty years old.

Here is a crappy video of it.

Made a video with my new camera yesterday. Turns out it was Brent Mydland's birthday, so I went to Oakmont Memorial Park, where he is buried.

The bikes of Billetproof

I finally went to Billetproof in Antioch, Ca. I've been wanting to go since it began, but my schedule and that it's really a car show (and I'm not much of a car buff) were all the excuses I needed to stay out.
I should have been going all along.
I took a picture of every bike I saw inside the gates. (minus one, it was garb) Here they are.


























































If you want to see the other side of a particular bike, or want more photos of one of these, you'll have to get out and look for them on the road.
