Venice Bike Path - 36 Nirvana

vivalargo · 2007-05-20T03:50:11+00:00

Fifty miles of perfect bike path, dead flat, most of it fifty yards from the waves, an endless cavalcade of bikini-clad beauties on roller blades, perfect weather and a vista that runs to the end of the world, for 36er cruising pleasure, the Venice Bike Path is tough to beat. Today, Don and I went for about three hours and I squeezed off a couple shots, posted shortly. If you're ever in So Cal., borrow a 36er and spin on down to the Venice bike path. If you want to see just how fast you can go, do it here and dive for the sand if all goes wrong.

I believe John kept the pictures of the bikini clad women to himself so
as not to offend anyone on this forum! This place is made for big
wheels!

That looks like really great fun. I'd sure love to a have a 36er and a
place to ride it like that. Nice pics too. It looks like a peaceful
place to ride from those shots, I'd have imagined it differently.
Let's see a shot that's a little more populated...maybe with some
bikini-clad passersby 😉
Today I'm going to do a similar ride. Here in Prague there is a nice
bike path that goes along the Vltava river. It was just extended to go
from southern Prague down to a small town called Zbraslav. I'm going
to try to make it there today.

Makes me wish I still had my coker! Last year I was riding that path
almost every week, from Hermosa Pier to Will Rogers State Beach; about
15 miles roundtrip. I'm thinking about getting another coker, but this
time it would have to be an upgrade deal, like airfoil, maybe the new
nimbus frame, shorter cranks and a brake.

Hi John...this is Becky...Ricky's friend. Looks like a perfect day out
there. I make that ride every once in a while. It would be awesome to
run into you guys one day. Or Uni-Geezer. Always feel like the only
Coker on the planet. Do you know if there is going to be a Round-up
this year?
Happy riding!!

Hi Becky, At our Dana Point ride today I met Kevin, who brought his
coker, plus and extra! He would like to join John, Don, me and
hopefully you and any other coker-ers for a ride along the Beach path
Saturday, 6/2/07. Since I sold my coker a while back, he'll let me use
his extra. It would be great if we could all make it!

Hey guys,
I don't suppose any of you happen to be around on Sunday the 10th June,
and fancy a ride?
Just like I'm gonna be in LA for 10 hours, and this is kind of near LAX
isn't it?
I'm getting in there at like 12:40 pm, just after midday, and catching
a flight out at 22:40/10:40pm*. I think that means I need to be at LAX
by about 8pm. Assuming I clear security by like 13:30, that'd give tons
of time to go ride, even if the plane is late (NZ006 from Auckland).
I will have a unicycle with me, although it might be easier not to have
to unpack it. I was figuring to left luggage my gear and just go to the
beach, go swimming, that kind of thing but it'd be awesome to spend
that time riding!
Potentially, thinking about it, if anyone was down there with a car, I
could bung my bags in it, and get the Schlumpf out of my bag to ride.
I'll be totally jetlagged (12 hour flight), it'll be too hot to ride,
but hell, isn't that what it's all about? I'll have the flight
afterwards for recovery time. I sometimes think shock treatment is best
for jetlag anyway.
Joe

Or we could make it the 10th and have Joe Marshall join us, or both.

Awesome, this is right near the airport, so I should be cool to come
riding on the 10th, how's that for turning the hassle of a 10 hour
changeover into an opportunity!
I'm well excited, last time I was in LA I went to Orange County and to
some beach towns there, and they were cool as, be great to ride this
stuff too.
Oh yeah, I'm gonna have the Schlumpf with me, so anyone who fancies a
bit of geared uni fun, turn up, I can always ride your coker for a
bit.
