Ride – Old French Bikes

Ride Report
We met at Petit Provence on Division and geeked out on all the old French bikes for a half hour or so. Trevor showed up and shared his very detailed knowledge of Cycles Peugeot. Other attendees had questions about their bikes, some of which we could answer. After the geek out session we rode down Clinton and through Ladd’s Addition to Clay and took a turn around the Esplanade and Waterfront Park, back over the Hawthorne and meandered up to the Laurelthirst Tav. We wanted to stop at Migration Brewing on Gleason but it was closed. What?
We made several other stops as the night wore on and people dropped off. We ended the event at the Sapphire Hotel for food and more libations. I think everyone had a good time. Sadly, no one took pictures.
It was very nice to meet some other francophiles around here and share stories.
I wish it was a monthly occurance so we wouldn’t have to wait until next year.
Until then, let every ride be a french one.
for future reference, what is “old?” 20 years? 30? more? I have a 1983 PX10, but figured it was too young (and had another event Monday night…)
