I went and cluttered up my "With Abandon" bike adventure site with more posts, so here are the specific posts with the hats, proving that indeed the hat makes the ride.
Blue Bonnet (sort of a newsboy equivalent) https://thegrid.ai/with-abandon/spring-splash-grocery-run/ Tiley (sort of a Panama equivalent) https://thegrid.ai/with-abandon/rampart-reservoir-run/ Islay Steve, Happy Easter to you as well! When we toured Scotland, my wife, my 75 year-old cousin, and I hired bikes on Islay and toured each of those wondrous distilleries (they are only a mile a part, as you no doubt know). Fortunately, all the whisky sampling (always ask to sample the more exclusive runs so you a) get more and b) know where to spend your money on whisky that can't be got in the US) we did straightened out the previously winding coastal road, so our trip back to the B and B was easier. Grin. Pro tip: when hiring a bike, check that the handlebars are tight in the stem, or at least have the proper (and if necessary, ancient) tools required to properly tighten it. Barring either of those, bashing your bike handlebars onto the asphalt road to lodge them more securely in the stem is preferable to a "dri-stane" wall, which will topple and free the sheep. Whisky, of course, helps the entire situation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
