'Haven't been out on the bike in months due to a) the weather and b) the lockdown(s). I have managed to get the bike out of mothballs and onto the trail a couple of times now. This is from St. Patrick's Day.

Early morning walk on Cairns Esplanade near the Reef Cruise terminal. Lots of yellow light.
Commuter bike in the rack with a local lad hiding behind it. Phone Pic.

Pretty sure that "local lad," might be a migrant.

Scanned image of yours, truly, from back in the spring of 1975 at the Tour of Dixie, St George, UT. Other competitors included John Howard (who set a land speed record of 152.2 miles per hour (245 km/h) while motor-pacing on a bicycle on July 20, 1985 on Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats), Paul Deem and Jerry Ash. I was riding a Scottish-built Bantel "Hugh Porter", on my beloved Brooks Pro saddle. Behind me were my team mates from the Phoenix Consumer Cycle Club.

The Bush Stone Curlews are residents unlike the waders on the mudflats.

Ah, gotcha! I should have known if I thought about how often I'd heard them over the last year. Now I know, thanks!

Digging around in my old files and found this one of my old bike. It's a '92 Trek 700, an older hybrid. They called it a "multi-track". I got it new in 1993 - at a great price since it was a tall frame they couldn't move quickly. Nothing exotic or fancy, just competent, and fit me perfectly - I rode the wheels off the thing. Finally ended up selling it in 2015

Here's a couple more old photos of my bike I stumbled upon, taken about 10 yrs ago on one of my favorite bike trails...
