No, not some stained glass from Bulent’s neighborhood.  I realize that this sunny 70F weather is going to turn around and bite us in about 6 months, but I took advantage of it to go for a bike ride this afternoon.  I’m particularly fond of this one:

If you’re interested in other photos of the flock:

One of my recent projects was converting my bike to mustache bars to ease the strain on my wrists.  I finally remembered to grab a shot of the new setup:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/50977887161/in/album-72157718421271253/

The bikes a bit on the heavy side, and the gearing’s a little tall for serious offroad, but it’s reasonably comy on pretty much any road.

Like the Turkeys. Haven't seen any around here for years. Some people
used to keep them long ago. The commercial ones are all small whites.

More like a MB now. I agree, upright is much better for old toppies.
Your next project could be to fit one of those aux. electric motors.
Maybe Elon Musk will sponsor you?

Your bike looks very good as a whole, by the way, and I  think it is
much lighter than mine.
Unfortunately, local driving habits does not permit much cycling here
and my bike
has probably forgotten everything already about its owner.

Very dangerous for road cyclists here too. 2 fatalities I can remember.
Road Bikes have virtually disappeared in favour of Mountain Bikes which
are mostly ridden on the local dirt tracks.

It was certainly interesting to watch them.  There were a couple of toms taking up the rear, with tails fanned out, one was letting his wings droop and drag on the ground.

...

Yes, much more comfortable.  When I built the bike, I put on a set of inline (cyclocross) brake levers on the top bar and since I was almost never in the drops, it was like having crazy narrow MB bars.  I used to have a 1 speed (which Mom used to have a baby seat on the back to carry me in) with mustache bars and it was very comfy to ride.

It’s a little under 40lbs/18kg

Cities are generally worse than rural or suburban areas.  It seems as if Asians have a different relationship with driving regulations than do Americans.

We USED to have wild turkeys in our yard.  The occasional fox has turned
into three foxes, running around, and, no more turkeys.  Also, fewer
rabbits and squirrels.  I haven't seen a possum or groundhog in a couple of
years either, as I think of it, and the chipmunks seem to be confined to
our fenced-in pool patio, whereas previously they were digging at the
foundation at the front of the house.

I’ve never seen a fox in these parts.  I’ve seen a couple of bobcats.  I may have seen a couple of coyotes by the road at night.  I personally have never seen a mountain lion, but sightings are becoming quite a bit more common, especially with all of the security cameras that people are getting.

Isn't biking off-road around where you live kind of dangerous too? 8^)

Did they help?

Your bike looks very good as a whole, by the way, and I  think it is
much lighter than mine.
Unfortunately, local driving habits does not permit much cycling here
and my bike
has probably forgotten everything already about its owner.

No, not some stained glass from Bulent’s neighborhood.  I realize that this
sunny 70F weather is going to turn around and bite us in about 6 months, but
I took advantage of it to go for a bike ride this afternoon.  I’m
particularly fond of this one:

If you’re interested in other photos of the flock:

One of my recent projects was converting my bike to mustache bars to ease the
strain on my wrists.  I finally remembered to grab a shot of the new setup:

The bikes a bit on the heavy side, and the gearing’s a little tall for
serious offroad, but it’s reasonably comy on pretty much any road.
