Friday, June 19, 2020 -- Manhattan Beach Pier - Platforms on the street...


The platforms on Manhattan Beach Blvd. are for outdoor dining.
They actually blocked off what used to be diagonal metered parking spaces to make these outdoor dining areas on the street.

It didn't look like they were in use yet but looks pretty ready (tables/chairs, umbrellas for shade, etc.).

Thursday, June 18, 2020 -- Manhattan Beach Pier -- Setting Up Platforms near the Pier for something...

Today, I passed a couple of spandex guys on nice race bikes.
They didn't like it so they passed me back then slowed down.
So, I ended up passing them again...
They still didn't like it and they worked together (drafting each other) to pass me back.
I just rode at my pace the whole time...

Whatever floats their boat...



Some kids were flying this drone around the pier...


Up a block, they're setting up some platforms along the street.  Don't know what for...






If one of these benches is not occupied, this is where I take a break before riding back home...


These are the two other bench choices.  It's rare that all four benches are not being used when I get to the pier at lunch time...

Wednesday, June 17, 2020 -- Manhattan Beach Pier

A little overcast but a nice day.  Around 70 F.

Garage Organizing - part 65 -- moved empty bins and more bicycle stuff to put away...

The bins sitting on the flat file (behind the chairs) were sitting on the floor next to the bikes.  I moved them off the ground to make better walking around space.  These empty bins need to either get used or "go"...

Ultimately, I want to move these three chairs (and the stuff that's on and below them) somewhere else...

This pile of stuff (mostly old bike parts) need to be put away (probably in the tall grey flat file drawers...)

The pedals are Campagnolo.

I need to figure out how to fill and light the red torch...

Three Dura-Ace rear derailleurs (early '80s, I think...) & a Dura-Ace front brake on the left front...

Campagnolo Nuovo Record (the top end) rear derailleur.  Beautifully designed and made...

A new Shimano 105 front derailleur and a used Dura-Ace front derailleur...

105 brake & a set of Ultegra brakes...

Shimano XTR (top of the line mountain bike hardware from Shimano) pedals...

Jaguar center cap -- for a road wheel?

Three new tires, all different brands...  You can fold these because the "rib" around the bead area is made of non-metallic material (such as nylon...).
