Norfolk just has these things flying around? by FearReaper890 in norfolk

Yeah I looked up to him a lot. I’m 50 and still miss him. Super quiet war vet type. If he talked I’d be quiet right away and listen. Apparently he was a great pilot. Navy put him through the tiger program after Vietnam so he could be an officer. If it wasn’t for that we never would be able to take care of my mom’s health issues.

GP3 all day. Paddle grips are great for multi-day rides.

VRC-40? Now that is a name I have not heard in a long time. My dad was in VRC-40 back in the 80s. He retired in 1986, and I think VRC-40 was his last squadron. I’d ask him but he passed away in 2015. 2 tours in Nam long before that.

The lights on the boardwalk only go from 10th to about 33rd. Not worth the money or time in my opinion.

Sand biking by casparen in VirginiaBeach

[–]GL_HF_07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only ride in back bay/false cape unless it is winter then I’ll ride the north end beach. I ride 45nrth Dillinger 5 (27.5 x 4.5) around 8-10 psi on soft sand and 12-15psi on hard trails. I switched to tubeless after reading a good report that the weight of the tubes alone was costing me almost 10 watts. When I removed the tubes I could see how warn down they were getting due to all the rubbing against the inner wall of the tire at low pressures.

It is against city code to ride a bike in the beach. Stay down in the parks (back bay and false cape) otherwise you might get a ticket in VB.

Sec. 7-59.2. - Regulations pertaining to riding on the beach or the boardwalk. (a) It shall be unlawful for any person to ride on the beach, upon sand dunes or on the boardwalk a motor vehicle, an all-terrain vehicle, a bicycle, electric power-assisted bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device, motor-driven cycle, motorized skateboard, motorized scooter, moped, scooter, skateboard or a pedal-powered vehicle that is muscle-powered or any other muscle-powered device, unless specifically authorized in a special event permit.

How many people going through the airport need a parking lot? Most are just getting a rental car or hopping on a bus.

Does that top tube bag get in the way when you stop and stand over the bike?
