August 5 - On the way to Utica, NY












Leaving Baldwinsville was difficult.  For the first ten miles we cycled with the morning sun in our eyes, in traffic, and on a route with cars entering and exiting major roads. After this dangerous start, the same Route 31 became pleasant and almost traffic free. By mile 25 we were delighted to discover this unique roadside bike shop, get off our bikes, and just have fun.

The used bikes were in the front yard of the owners home. His wife told us that her husband started to go to auctions as a hobby, purchased old bikes, and began repairing and selling the bikes.

Another detour added five miles to our day, increasing our total mileage to 70. On the detour we spotted more wheels, but on farm machinery, not bikes.
