I, too, went to sleep—at least for the next seven hours. It wasn’t nearly enough to wipe out the sleep debt from the night before, but at least the bed was more comfortable than the weeds. After that, I decided it was a good idea to let some air out of the front tire to obviate the risk of that one popping too. Only two blocks away from Walden’s Shell gas station—the official turnaround point of the ride—I rode by three guys having a chit chat in front of someone’s garage when there was a loud bang.
Now when you say multi-speed with rear derailleur, there’s the kicker. You’ll need a little skinnier to get through the drive-train. Women’s Airway Cruiser Bike lets you take cruising to the next level. The combination of easy-to-use twist shift gears and a lightweight perfect fit aluminum frame makes this a great cruiser bike. Front and rear alloy cantilever brakes deliver solid control, and a Microshift 6-speed twist shifter and huffy cruiser Shimano derailleur combine to deliver incredibly smooth shifting.
During this era BMX racing was still regarded exclusively as a kid’s sport and at best a training ground and stepping stone to racing standard Motorcycle Motocross when they reached adulthood. Of course as part of the first generation Stu Thomsen would remain one of the oldest riders throughout his career. These persistent rumors—at times aided by his own statements—would regularly crop up as people wondered what is the outer age limit of a competitive racer in this new sport.

Wildfire evacuation times for Aspen are estimated to be at 17 hours, according to City Councilperson John Doyle. Arianna has held up remarkably over the years, especially considering the abuse I have subjected her to. She has been left for days in the rain, sleet and snow in both California and Aspen. She has been vandalized by homeless people and has taken a few spills on late-night rides home from the bars.
I shelled out for two new, slightly wider tires (no whitewalls), tubes, and handlebar grips, removed the decals, and added a bell and reflectors I already had. The front fork and chainguard were a very dull silver (a.k.a., gray) that detracted from the look of the chrome fenders, so I sprayed on two coats of Rustoleum gloss white. 26″ white-walled tires on this women’s cruiser bike. There were much more cars on the road in the afternoon than during the wee hours of the day. A funny thing was that motorcyclists kept waving as I was crawling back up the pass.
