This afternoon around 4:00 while riding my cruiser home from work I passed by a guy with what I think was a china girl bike waiting to make a left turn onto Broadway from Craycroft. He's got bigger cajones than I do getting out into the middle of all that traffic at that time of day!

For those that don't know both Broadway and Craycroft are major traffic corridors in Tucson. Lots of crazy cagers in a hurry doing stupid things with their vehicles.

I saw the black recumbant with the canvas top tonight around 5:30 at Broadway and Cherry. I like that thing! I may have to look into building one!

I put this here because no where else would you folks would believe me. The cops that told me my tools had been found, came back with a warrant wanting to know where all my bikes and new motors were from. They walked away with their tail tucked between their legs. Life goes on.

Yeah, they wanted to know where they were from so when the chase the little kids around the park, they know where they got the goods from....a search warrant?!?

Come on.

At 3:30 this afternoon I was passed on my way home by a guy on a China Girl bike heading west on Speedway. I pulled out in front of him not realizing how fast he was going. I had just assumed it was a regular bike coming at me.

A motorized biker was struck and severely injured in Tucson today. The accident happened at Mountain and Silver. I hope rider's condition will improve, initially reported as critical.

Turns out the recumbent "reverse" trike goes by my house everyday. A big dude I think going to the Metaphysics World or the Glass Bottom head shop on Broadway...I think.

Yesterday, ( Friday) About 1:15PM A 2 stroke MBer was eastbound on Prince Road at Campbell. The black cruiser had chrome fenders and white sidewall tires.
Today (Saturday) At about 10:45 an electric (factory made) bike was northbound on Plumer at Broadway. Both bikes were piloted by dudes.

Today at 1:15 PM a dude riding a red trail/mountain 2 stroke powered bike nearly ate my fender. He breezed through a stop sign at Seneca and Tucson Blvd. I was northbound and swerved into the southbound side to avoid him.
I didn't honk or yell or anything, he looked like he was already having a bad day.
