Saw this bad boy today

[wily]

I wouldn’t ride to the stop sign down the street without a helmet...

I can't run and even walking far enough for a workout hurts my legs.  Used to be ok but at 59 my joints don't like it that much.

     I cannot run the jarring on my spine is too much but I can walk forever without a load. My worst problem is standing or sitting in a static position. Constant moving is my friend as long as bending at the torso is not in the picture. There is no more going places and standing in a slow line.

I don't do helmets, pads, or gloves(unless it's jerseys when it's cold).  But I do have to change underwear before a ride. Bikini Briefs are a no-no.  I prefer cargo pants, boxers, and sturdy tennis shoes.

Summer I wear sandals, quick dry shorts and shirts and boxer brief breathable.  Winter....  Depends on how cold and wet but always wind proof fleece.  Only ice and snow stop me.  Sometimes...  Always a helmet.

Dang,

    Now I have to find a bargain on a helmet to go with my bargain bicycle.

My girls always see them at garage sales.  Bikes and all kinds of exercise equipment.  Never buy exercise stuff new. I got a treadmill for free, just had to pick it up.  I bought a Total Gym for $50 and it was brand new.  The lady said her husband used it once.  Bought all of my dumb bells and bench super cheap too.

                    Garage sales are the bomb for things you need and things you don't. Todays find a set of six nice little bluegill rapala fillet knives. Well maybe a set of steak knives? :). That will be what they are used for! Lady says don't put them in a dishwasher HA. I will sand them down and soak the handles in mineral oil then wipe down. All for three bits (75 cents).

Those old steel frame Treks are highly thought of in certain circles.  Nice bike.

I had no idea.  I'll keep that in mind if I ever sell it.

I gave up on garage sales because I never see anything I want.  Part of the problem around here is that people flock to the garage sales and if you don't get there right away the good stuff is gone.  

Neat score BTW.

                That is a fact. Where we found these it started at 8AM. We were there at 7:45 puling up to the place. Wads of folks there carrying stuff in bags away already. PAt got a birdfeeder and a package of tea towles for 1.75. She spends way too much money 🤣

Around here they do Friday night preview sale.  The girls hit those and get up at 6 on Saturday to be first.  Word from them is estate sales are best.  The kids selling their recently passed parents stuff and just want it gone.
