“Front-End-Friday” is sort of a prompt in the cycling community for posting pictures of the front of your bicycle to Reddit or other social platforms. Sometimes it’s a POV photo of the handlebars, and other times, it’s just a photo like the ones I took of Sophie today.

Because it was so hot and getting dark, I just rode to the nearby elementary school to take the photos. I don’t think they came out good enough to post to Reddit, but it was a fun excuse to get out and ride.

As a bonus, I made another video and learned a bit about how to position the camera using the clamp mount. It’s fun to try new things!

I hope you had a good day. またね～

Deer Ride with Rossa

 “Rossa and Deer” Cedar Park, 2021

This evening I went with Rossa (my red Bianchi) to go look for some deer. There’s a nearby neighborhood in which I always see them, so I thought it would be a fun ride.

I also fixed up Rossa with the white Retrospec saddle, new white handlebar grips, and a pair of new tires. Everything was very inexpensive, totaling about $50. Add another $5 for the cabling to get her in safe riding condition and I am very happy!

I like the red and white color scheme. It’s fun and seems very 80s.

And of course we did see plenty of deer on the ride as evidenced by the first photo in the post. If you want to ride along with us virtually, hop on your stationary bike and put the video below on your laptop or tablet. 😁
