Hope it wasn't a long walk. What made the chain fail?

Saw a dude waiting for the eastbound bus at 10:20 on Broadway between Columbus and Alvernon. He had a road bike with a two stroke/black tank. Loaded it on the bus. I was surprised when I heard a while back that the bus authorities allow gas bikes on the carrier.

Today, during my ride, I stopped at Bargain Basement Bikes. They let me air up my tires. When you are in Tucson, stop by and get some air.

Nogalas, AZ...Early this morning while dropping a load off saw a MB on Grande Ave. near the Mariposa Rd.

I know many of you may find this hard to believe, I had to take a double look myself!! The guy was pulling a trailer with a goat in it

I could not believe what I was seeing, I actually missed my turn because I was focused on the guy. I sure wish I had a camera on me, it was sooo funny

This evening around 6 I saw a guy cruising west on Broadway near Cherry on a black bike with a black China engine. He was wearing a blue t-shirt and red suspenders. That anybody here?

Talking Re: I saw you...

I take that route on the black Whizzer, and I've been known to wear red, white and blue suspenders...


BTW Fairracing I wish I could have seen that goat-cycle, that had to have been insanely funny. I carry my camera when practical and always my cell phone, so I'm going to start asking riders permission to photograph and post pics of their rides here.

I finally saw a Whizzer, being ridden in Tucson. I followed the dude a couple blocks until he realized he was being stalked. After introducing myself, we talked about Whizzers and I gave him this site's name etc.
He said he actually had three Whizzers.
