Bicycle Browsings

Bicycling on the Island hasn't been this pleasant in many, many years, all due to the fact that we are still semi shut down around here and there's much less traffic than usual, so I've been taking advantage of the situation and getting out and about on my bike - with the Lumix, of course - at least once a day (I am also working on shedding some of my winter and lock-down poundage).




Twilight, finger piers and Edgartown Yacht Club

Boat houses - vestiges of old Edgartown.

Evening squid fishing off of Sandy Fisher's work barge.

Okay - this was actually grabbed from a West Tisbury field on one of the rare times I've used my car (I think I've been on the same tank of gas for three months).

Men at work on Sandy Fisher's work barge - some kind of winching/hoisting thing going on here, featuring Sandy and Tracy, with the ever-present Dennie J. looking on. 

Former boat houses, converted into summer beach cottages while retaining the old Edgartown vibe. 

Albion. The best part of getting out and about via bicycle is connecting with people.  I found Albion fishing for squid off of the town wharf. 

Bike to the Bend

I rode my bike out to the Bend in the Road on a recent warm day - not warm enough to get me in the water - yet - but I did find a small handful of people getting an early start on swimming season. I was happy to see that the nasty nail and splinter-covered remains of a small shipwreck had finally been removed (after my having pestered various authorities for several weeks), leaving our town beach clean and serene again. I was also happy to see the dusty miller in bloom. It's the small things, you know.
