I got to go on a short bike ride today

Unfortunately, I forgot my bag at the start of the ride, so I didn’t get to take any pictures during it, but here’s some photos from afterwards. They were grilling burgers and they tasted great.

People gathering, preparing for the next ride.

The ride was about 5 miles and went around the neighborhood, including some brief off-road sections1. There was a second, longer, ride afterwards that I was thinking of doing, but I came mostly for the free tune-up they were offering, which I never ended up getting. The guy doing the tune-ups took a brief look at it before the ride started and said he’d finish it afterwards, but I asked about it after the ride, he said he’d have to put in a work order since they were only doing them for free before the first ride.

The organizers grilling burgers.

It wasn’t really a huge deal, but my bike is a $25 craigslist bike, so I can’t justify a paid tune-up that will undoubtedly cost significantly more than I paid for the bike. Really unfortunate.

Footnotes

  1. We crossed illegally from a path that went alongside a railroad to a greenway, which didn’t have a road. Apparently the nearby university will send campus police down like once a weekend to write tickets just because they have to or something.
