I actually have a great deal I owe to a bicycle, and my father...... .
T love that story. Sounds like your father was a smart guy in more ways than one.

... It was a Schwinn with white sidewall tires. It was love at first sight...
Thanks for your posts and pics Kurt.
Thank you. I enjoyed your photos earlier in the thread. We really want to do Ragbrai. Next year may be too crazy for us, though.
Maybe you will overlook it if I add another picture. Last year we were riding through a local park and noticed that there weren't any kids at the skate park. So we took our small wheeled bikes in for some fun. We did manage to get a little air under the wheels. Scared ourselves a little but had big smiles.

Are the wheels on the Surley folding bikes larger than other brand folding travel bikes?
Seems like the other folding bikes I've seen the wheels looked pretty small.
I have Dahon folding bike I keep in the motorhome. Small(er) wheels but the more upright position is much easier on me.

Thanks for humoring me while I post all of this crap. I'm going a little stir crazy. ..
Lee, the Surly Crosscheck is a cyclocross bike with normal 700c wheels that has really neat couplers on the top tube and down tube that allow the front of the frame to be separated from the rear of the frame. This allows it to be packed into a 26"x26" box which (I think) meets airline checked luggage standards. Hence the name of the bike 'cross' (off road racing on road bikes) and 'check' (luggage). Clever.

Well you've got a great way of keeping fit during this quarantine.
I don't have many pictures of me on a bike but I do have a lot of me in bike gear tasting beer at breweries. Most of my bike jerseys are brewery themed. Hmmm...
This is at the end of our Erie Canal trip. Every day was in the high 90s and we had a headwind (we went east to west) for the whole ride. That may explain my dazed look.
