[CR]Retro Ride Picnic photos online

Here's my Flickr album of the Southwest Frameworks Retro Ride and Picnic held last weekend in Dallas:

Big shout out to David "Gios" Cheakas for throwing the picnic, feeding us "double butted" and "straight gauge" hot dogs, and giving away door prizes.

The gusty winds blew many of the bikes over, so he's sure to get some repainting business his way.

In addition, and slightly related, feel free to join the Uptown Bike Ride in Dallas every Sunday night at 7 near the Quadrangle ... a slow, easy social ride to a nearby bar/grill and back ... it's got a Flickr album too:

And of course my virtual museum of 1970s/early 1980s bike mail-order catalogs:
