Carl's photos and thoughts.

It is a nice sitting spot. Normally empty. Where I'm at theres this roaring sound, but a calm. #phillyrailpark (at The Rail Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDxH4mijDJJ/?igshid=3hpccsaw4dt4

The ride back from Atsion Family Campground was pretty nice. #bmxontheroad #20inchriding #bmxtraveler #bikecamping #biketour #bikepacking (at Atsion Family Campground) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDsFSWIjsSt/?igshid=fn922yikyvwv

Another Full Moon Ride done. The August ride just had a sprinkle of rain the whole time. The 4 of us rode to the Belmont Plateau. #cyclescenephl #ibikephl #phillyfullmoonride (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDdK4mzjLxf/?igshid=w5f5itz2zzt8

August 1st. I started 2pm, but got a 100km or metric century done for the month. Its 30 miles to Phoenixville. The main street bridge has a bike way on the north side now. I did a minimal stop and haul steady ride to make up for the late start. I guess I way feeling good too. #bmxontheroad #20inchriding #bmxtraveler https://www.instagram.com/p/CDXmVf1jkw-/?igshid=g094k8nh4io7

I got one rack mount adapter done. Hand sawing, filing. The drill was working, but the dremel died. I'm going to make two more. But this will be a template. https://www.instagram.com/p/CC1-PTsDmxy/?igshid=2ob5z6s26xv7

Someone had a few of these printed out. These are head badges for the S&M Black bike. One is a Black Flag album cover variant from "Family Man" The other is I don't know. There is another head badge with Hitler too. All were intended to be offensive regardless and humor. The 3 different head badges were for top tube size also like 20, 20.5 and 21. As for the order I don't know either. They will be going on my RV frames. #sandmrv #sandmblackbike #sandmbmx #midschoolbmx #blackflag https://www.instagram.com/p/CC1UNsRDgpr/?igshid=1mx8rtcv1jqeg

I took a camping trip. Elk Neck State Park. Not bad. Its nice to get away from the city. Generally the idea was a bike camping trip but rain took out the idea so we all drove to here and spent 2 days. #camping #elkneckstatepark (at Elk Neck State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CChECy6jNTJ/?igshid=1evj43a7p51zu

Rear rack plans. Ibera. Carrier. The rack itself is a fairly simple, cheaper aluminum rack. Now I know 8ts not steel or surly or over 100 dollars but the seems pretty durable for delivery bikes. The adapters are my main agenda. I found a nicer steel frame mount adapter that ill just hook onto the seat tube. I have to fabricate the rest longer rack extention links ( may not need) to the frame, and drop out adapters basically the same as derailleur adapters. Ill need it for camping trips very soon. Oh so why do I need adapters? I'm installing this rack on a 20" bike of course. #20inchriding #bikecamping #bmxontheroad https://www.instagram.com/p/CCbR2U3Dii5/?igshid=1o9h0oo9khftn
