Good and Bad

We've had quite a lot of rain here lately, and the next two days are supposed to be non-stop rain events. So I got a little time this weekend to ride this Raleigh Sprite 5-speed.

The ride is somewhere between a utility 3-speed and a 10-speed road bike, which is expected. It has the weight and geometry of a 3-speed Raleigh, but with a closer ratio transmission and 2 more gears.

It's a fun bike to ride and in excellent shape.


















On the downside, people are now dumping more and more garbage in the nature area near where I ride.







There are signs and a hefty fine for littering, but people continue to dump whole bags of garbage right into the swamp. This is unacceptable, and it is sheer laziness that drives people do this sort of thing. I do hope the police catch and fine these individuals.
