Doohickies ⚙️⛭
Oh, the doohickies we can pick up over years of cycling! Some we really do need, such as a multi-tool. With this gadget, you can tighten loose bolts; and perform other minor repairs out on the road.
Other doohickies are just for fun and, strictly speaking, aren’t even for cycling: such as a Bananagrams game for long Summer evenings during a bicycle tour.
Wish List 📷 🚲
My wish list includes both doohickies and more serious items. A new set of panniers, for one. The ones I have are a good 12 years old; and are definitely showing their age!
A new road bike? Not for a long time, I hope. Query: do you know it’s time for a new bicycle after X number of years; or after X miles of riding? Neither one? I want to keep using my road bike as long as it’s rideable!
A few days ago I was watching a YouTube; either about RAGBRAI, or some other bicycle tour. Someone had an over-the-rear-wheel rack that could double as a bike stand! It was easy: unload the rack; undo the clamp fastening the rack to the seat post; and swing the rack backwards and under the wheel.
Another wish list item that’s starting to tug at the edges of my brain is a drone. If I ever hope to expand my YouTube page, I’ll probably need one. But first, let me earn my pilot’s license!

ABOUT ME
I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.
I live in New Orleans; and retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
