Happy Father's Day

Here's the guy that taught me alot of things in my life, one of which is the love of bicycles.  I can remember when he brought his new Schwinn Sports Tourer home, when I was around 10 years old. He rode that bike for over 30 years (and over 30,000 miles), until we replaced it with a new bike on his 75th birthday. He taught me how much fun it was to ride long distances. He planted the idea of riding a bike across the country. This is my Dad.  Happy Father's Day!

I saw this on the ride out to Pultneyville on Sunday.  They don't make 'em like this anymore...just like my Dad.
