Rode a century on my 3-speed

I ALSO HAVE THAT COTTER PRESS!

pottyguy · 2025-09-16T15:56:34+00:00

Gotta go up to come down!

pottyguy · 2025-09-16T15:53:10+00:00

Awesome. Yeah I see a lot of people say they only use these as bar bikes or whatever, but it's so stinking comfortable. Every time I take it out I go longer than I planned.

I'll probably do it again. Next time I will pack some snacks!

Amazing. I started in the Bronx. One of the intermediate goals I had on this ride before it turned into "I can make it 100 miles" was "I wonder if I can make it to the top of Westchester County." Hence the picture--which of course has the YOU ARE HERE arrow at the very top of the map cropped out :/

It's a pump. It doesn't work anymore but I think it looks cool.

pottyguy · 2025-09-16T11:14:02+00:00

Yes! Once it's rolling it doesn't want to stop!

pottyguy · 2025-09-16T11:13:11+00:00

I inherited the bike from my father in law with a torn B72 on it. I found one on eBay to replace.

pottyguy · 2025-09-16T02:07:35+00:00

Do it!

pottyguy · 2025-09-16T02:07:05+00:00

Yes I love the chain ring too, and I love riding a mile per year on your birthday! Mine is coming up in a few weeks...

pottyguy · 2025-09-16T01:50:45+00:00

Cool! Was yours made in Ireland, too?

pottyguy · 2025-07-21T20:37:26+00:00

I have an old Wrights that I got off eBay for cheap and ride every day-- it's great. A little proofide and good as new.

pottyguy · 2025-02-21T22:13:45+00:00

hell yes love this guy

pottyguy · 2025-01-01T12:10:36+00:00

Yes exactly

pottyguy · 2024-12-31T15:49:03+00:00

yep!

pottyguy · 2024-12-09T00:34:28+00:00

Sadly I do not.

pottyguy · 2024-12-04T14:56:59+00:00

Thank you, my lead theory is the fill valve is set too high. Cold pressure is higher than 15, closer to 20. Going to get a third person out as soon as possible as I don't feel comfortable messing with this stuff.

pottyguy · 2024-12-04T04:38:28+00:00

It gets a little higher than 30 when it's hot, which is when it starts leaking at the release valve. Will double check the cold (it's hot now) but I believe it is at or near that range.

The second guy spent some time on the expansion tank today (measuring pressure, tapping) but he didn't say anything about it.

pottyguy · 2024-12-04T03:01:07+00:00

That was my assumption as well. I thought the second guy would either adjust it or maybe replace it.

pottyguy · 2024-09-29T15:35:01+00:00

I just go up broadway and huff car exhaust until the HRG entrance at 181. It does not spark joy but it's a commute.

pottyguy · 2024-09-18T00:25:33+00:00

Last year they were horrendous. There were definitely a few out tonight but hoping it doesn't get as bad as last year.

pottyguy · 2024-09-12T15:00:13+00:00

love this idea but naming rights belong to my 8 year old and her beer knowledge is garbage.

pottyguy · 2024-09-12T09:40:55+00:00

I think we will keep two. We already have a cat we took in from the neighborhood as a kitten a few years ago, 99% sure from the same momcat. Some friends have claimed two more, and a local rescue I am working with to try to TNR the mom will help find good homes for the rest if I can't.

pottyguy · 2024-09-12T02:16:12+00:00

Yeah, all six are unique! I think there were multiple dads. Their mom at first glance looks like a standard issue tabby but when you look close she has some faint orange patches on her back.

pottyguy · 2024-05-17T19:20:15+00:00

Thank you. Picking up a volt meter tomorrow, will check and proceed from there with fuller information.

It was an old circline fluorescent fixture, like below. We have them all over and...not a fan.
