What a bummer. Glad you made it back okay.

Your upside down bike looks like its sick, the poor thing.

Wow-the cars parked beyond it look like a blast from the past and the trees made me think of hobbits. What an interesting place.

Every Saturday there are old cars parked at the coffee shop. The shop used to sell old cars, so people congregate their stuff there still. What fun!

Man! That's pretty much all I see at night!

[NotSoOldHippy]

Drunk drivers? LOL. A bunch of drunks passed me last night, I pick up the bike and walk it up the hillside to avoid them.

[NotSoOldHippy]

Don't you find old and beat-up bikes to be better than new stuff? I like having tires that are in good shape, but with rolling rusted crap I can zing and crash and run in to things and not worry about what it's doing to the value of the bike.

Cool finding your bike stolen and then abandoned later as unworkable. LOL! What amusing!

If you have old bikes and photographs of them, I'd love to see them -- in fact I should go look at your channel and see if you have videos.

I've been thrown over the handlebars several times as well. Once I was going up a steep grade and somehow the rear derailler got caught in the spokes of the rear wheel. The bike stopped dead but I kept going, right over the handlebars. Luckily, I was only going maybe 3 mph up that hill, so I just kinda fell over into the ditch. A little dirty and scratched up but not hurt. I was able to coast it back home after walking it the rest of the way up the hill. It helps to keep things adjusted.

I would never have carried the bike. I'd have just chucked it in the ditch and come back for it with a car, I've done that once before. Usually I'll ride the bike back at all costs.

My bikes are all old, beat up second hand ones that keep working only due to my own elbow grease. Years ago, I rode my bike to the library and rarely lock it. It got stolen while I was in there, but as I started my walk back home I found it discarded along the bike path. Whoever took it couldn't work it. lol

Ya at least you weren't going down hill at 50mph.... Better they went when they did. Nice place for a morning cup of jo. Love the classic cars that congregate there.

But all he needed was bearings....

[Desertphile]

Golly. I should buy you a better bike: yours is like 20 or 30 years old.

[RadarKat73080]

Not far from the truth, actually. I mean visually, my night vision sucks!

[Paxmax]

LOL!!! It's too late for love and care -it needs resuscitating!!

BWahahhahaa, sorry I just had to make this crack at it!!!
