Bike Monday for May 21, 2012: A Few of My Favorite Things by Pat McKay
Contributing Photographer Pat McKay has been getting out to ride as often as he can, even if the wind is blowing half a gale. Not long ago, his travels took him to Snow Hill, Maryland…
This is a kind of two-for-one deal. My trusty LHT in the foreground and one of my favorite canoe liveries in the background. Beautiful, no? What's not so apparent is the fact that the wind was gusting between 20-30 mph all day. I rode into town averaging 26 mph, and I crawled out barely managing 10. We call the nearly constant wind (although thankfully not always this breezy) on the Delmarva "our hills."
Stiff breeze or not, it’s an idyllic scene, as I’m sure every cyclist (and boater) will agree. Thanks, Pat!

We love our bikes, right? And we never tire of looking at them. At least I don’t, and if I’m to judge from what others tell me, I’m not alone. So each Monday I’ll publish a bike-related picture. Most of the time it will be a photo, but don’t be surprised if a few drawings and paintings get added to the mix from time to time. I might even include a sculpture or two. (OK. A photo of a sculpture.) Anything, in short, that evokes the world on two wheels. And don’t be shy. If you have a picture you’d like to share, just email it to me. I’ll do the rest.
