Tandem

~ ~ ~

Cheap thrills for cyclists
Passing a one-horse buggy
or a slow tractor

~ ~ ~

Evening ride
Sunset behind me
Racing my shadow home

  1. Have you ever tried a tandem. I went on my brother's - me on the back - it was scary!

  3. The weather is getting better for us!
    I have to get out on my bike this week.
    It helps to have more sunlight eh?

  4. What, no pics?

    I've never had the pleasure of passing a horse-drawn buggy. I have passed numerous tractors and various orchard implements. It's a hoot! Who won the shadow race?

  5. You make riding sound so serene and pastoral. A very calming picture.

  6. I nearly got a shadow shot on Sunday, thinking of you. But I got sidetracked. By a baby duck, I think...

  7. I visited Amish country in Ohio last fall and was thrilled to see so many horses and buggies. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

  9. You reminded me of that song from The Wiz, called Ease on Down the Road. Do you know it? I think it works. :)

  14. Nice that you are able to enjoy your bike rides again. I'm looking forward to better weather in the States. Too hot here to do anything. Today was my last day at school and I put a plant in my car, then went back inside to say goodbye to everyone. Big mistake. The plant is a goner. I'm trying to save parts of it but it's not looking good at all. Have a great week. Tammy
