or what seven under-employed old men did on a cold Friday in January...


Raleighs, cell phones and digital cameras at the ready we started off early in the am... We pick up the story now at Coffee Works...

Hitting Coffee Works before VeloCodger

"I say there laddie... yer mommie wouldn't buy you a bigger camera? Back in my day we had ggrreat biggg press cameras... A real man's camera. That it was."

Oh yeah, this is a really organized bunch.

Velo Bozo Quartet singing "Oh What a Beautiful Morning"
We made $3.28 (payoff to shut up)

Hi Dorothy... yeah... uhh... I'll be home in a while...

Knock it off! The Conductor already said not to thrown anything...
45 going on 7 (years)

"Sez here he rode a 55-19 all the way up the Stelvio" "Tim, I don't think so. I rode that same hill in a 53-19 while smoking a cigarette."

"Check out this stereo pic of those poor county workers we passed on the ride downtown."

"I hate to admit it but I think you're right...

we're going in the wrong freakin' direction.

Quick! Someone go pull the e-brake lever..."

We arrived at the Museum of California in Oakland right on schedule. First stop? Restrooms! Next? Re-fill the bladders with more coffee.

10am, Bob D. goes for instant Velo Bozo membership by
having a beer at the museum. Even grizzled VB members are impressed.

An english bike even eddy respects...


on-demand all wheel drive!

"crazy mother f***ers" was mumbled more than once...

"I must have that bike!"

We coined the term "Uhlergize" in this room. It was fun having Steve ...well...uhlergize about all the technical aspects of the weirder bikes.

The purpose of this device doesn't live up to the appearance

At least 10 kilos of dope and two tanks of acetylene to create this weirdness
on machine to upper left.
