So at last the road salt has pretty much washed away, and while it is still chilly, it's not bitterly cold. With the arrival of daylight savings time, that means enough daylight in the evening to start riding again. We're right at the start of spring, and it is appropriate to hit the road with the bikes again.
The season usually begins kind of slowly: bike maybe once or twice per week and run for exercise the other days. But as the weather and daylight improve, biking will take over and eventually become my main form of fun and exercise.
This 1964 Schwinn Traveler is in excellent overall condition and is looking promising this year. Today's ride showed a couple small adjustments I need to make, but also reveal the Traveler to be a decent rider. It has those Schwinn three speed qualities: solid build, kind of heavy, smooth riding, and a flashy look. They sure loved chrome and stainless steel in those days!
