Still sunny and warm over there then? Once again one of your posts has made me jealous of where you live.

I wouldn't say warm, it's in the 40s in the Smokies, if not colder. :lol:

Still looks like a good time though. Skuuter, is that bike a fixie? I don't see any brakes on it.

Who needs brakes in the mountains? But that kind of bike looks like the kind where you pedal backwards and the rear tire brakes.

Yep, that one has a "push-the-pedals" backwards (coaster brake) on an Alloy Frame, Alloy 29er Aero rimmmed wheels, Alloy Bars, Seatpost, etc. I sold all my "Multi Speeds" last year. I had a Rigid YETI, and Full Suspension Mongoose Mountain Bike, and a Bianchi and Colnago Road Bikes. Back to "Basics" and havin' Fun. The Double Bar Ends give You lotsa' Hand Positions and work Great that way. I'm building a DK All-Butted Chrome Moly 26" wheeled BMX for the Street right now. Rear Disc Brake with a Single Speed Freewheel Hub...... ;) 8)***

***Also headin' to The Smokies (Townsend) on the PCXs to ride with some Folks on Their Ruckus Scooters this weekend...March 3rd and 4th.....bring Your PCXs on up..... :)

GAH! You guys should tell me in advanced about this sort of thing. I could have made it up if I had more notice. :oops:

HA...I didn't get any warning either... :D ....I made the post about the Bicycles, then added it later about the Trip. Kami and Joie from Ruckus Central had to come up to another Motel in Townsend to put in a WI-FI system, bringin' Their Rucks, so Sharron at Docks Motel sent me an E-mail after They were formin' a ride...I generally plan quite a ways in advance when I host one...You'll be told in plenty of time..... ;) 8)
