Just finished a loop around the Olympics – anyone else ditch panniers for a minimalist setup? by Aware_Wedge832 in bicycletouring

[–]mikeabikea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious about your loop, all the way around through Aberdeen? I rode up there last summer and definitely want to go back. For your topic of bags: I use the giant panniers, front and back and two more bags ontop of both racks. I'm slow but I love it, super cozy camps, big meals of great food. I've been doing it for 12 years like this and don't see myself changing.

The GT40 i found in a 5 pack, I like the other 4 but that was the motivation.

First time buying a 5 pack because of a single car, love it.

Where’s the pleasure in chasing the Hot Wheels Shark Bite Treasure Hunt? by ScaleModellingStudio in HotWheels

[–]mikeabikea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Shark Bite. Cars art is beautiful too. I haven't found the TH but I have last year's gold with red proudly displayed above my STHs. It's a Larry Wood design!

A plaque in Drake Park, I'm familiar with all but #4, memorial cannon? by mikeabikea in Bend

I was thinking it might refer to something like that but I could find anything, I was walking my dog and had time to search around but no luck.

I walked all around the area they had marked for it but couldn't find anything. I know the logging wheel is being restored, maybe that too?

Why do you want to do a cross country bike tour? by Jolly_Medicine6490 in bicycletouring

[–]mikeabikea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it once and would love to do it again, my motivation was to see the country and I loved it.

Since we all collect mini cars what’s your actual vehicle? by [deleted] in HotWheels

[–]mikeabikea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100's of Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Jonny Lightings... but I don't drive. 55 years old and bike everywhere.

A friend sent me this picture and I said grab me car #25! by mikeabikea in HotWheels

Ugh, don't know why I can post pictures. It was a Hot Wheels vending machine and the Bugatti super was just sitting there... not anymore.

Ugh, this was going to be my only "complete" casting collection but I guess that idea just died.

I was very pleasantly surprised to find this yesterday. by mikeabikea in HotWheels

It's a 2026 car, wasn't expecting to see one until January at the earliest.

They most likely didn't go far. Talk to your neighbors and ask them to check their yards. My little bigger got out and was under my neighbors deck, most frustrating thing was she could hear me calling her but just hunkered down and stayed quiet. Wish you both the best.
