I don't use a speedo, but I was coming home from work one day last year
and came upon a radar trailer that showed me going 19mph in a 35mph
zone. I was 57 years old at the time.

Guy in our barracks at Hickam AFB's most treasured possesion at the time was a
base traffic citation for going 35mph in a 25 zone on his bike. He framed it
an hung it on the wall.

Pete:

I see that you were at Hickam. We're about the same age (1year
apart) so I'd wager that we were there at the same time. I was in the 1502nd
FMS, 1961 thru '64, took a local discharge and lived in Hawaii 'til '72.

What about you?

Geeze!.... also took a local discharge - graduated from UH, which I
started in night school at Hickam.

But I only lived there until August of '71 - not too long after
graduating. Lived most of the time on St Louis Heights Drive, some up
in Manoa Valley, some down in The Jungle.

I was a crypto repairman in the Plan-55 building. Spent most of my
offtime surfing/living in a group apartment in The Jungle. Still
remember coming off swing shifts, walking into the apartment in my
fatigues carrying my little toolbox and finding the party was over
already - couples passed out on the floor, empty bottles everywhere...

I got started cycling when I was in a fifth-year industrial arts
teaching program at the UH. Facilities were spread out over Honoruru
and I used to spend a couple hours every day racing city traffic go
get from class-to-class.

Ah, the Jungle! Parties with Kui Lee and friends. An interesting time.
