The parking lots at the pier are pretty full.
Two 4-door jeeps (one with a bike rack & bikes on the back).
The flag is still...
There's still people out and about, either walking, jogging or riding...

Rode the Schwinn Paramount to Copenhagen Bakery
Rode the Schwinn Paramount to Copenhagen Bakery to pick up some desert.
It's setup with flat pedals so it can be ridden wearing normal shoes and clothes...
It's just less than 2 miles so about 10 minutes on a bike.
(It would take about 30 minutes on foot and about 7 minutes by car.)
They gave me a large bag with handles that kept the box flat.
It was perfect for hanging on the LH brake lever "hood."
I took a backpack to carry it back but I would have had to put the box in sideways, which would have "smooshed" the pastries a bit...
The bike rode nice.
It's only about 10 minutes to the bakery but no issues on the ride.
The shifters are on the downtube.
The seat is pretty firm and not really good/comfortable for just riding around in normal clothes...
The bar tape near the right hand brake lever is where my hand sits when riding and the hand movement is raising up the edge of the bar tape.
Maybe I didn't wrap it tightly enough?
Spare Bicycle Shoe -- also breaking in the same part!
My regular bicycle shoe broke last week.
I happen to have two identical pairs (I had bought a second pair a few years ago as a backup when I found them on sale.).
I started using the backup RH shoe & now the backup shoe is breaking in the same part!
Different failure mode.
This one is tearing, instead of breaking at the stitch line...
Oh well... Problems seem to come in bunches...
