Last night I loaded up the Raleigh 20 with instruments and alcohol and headed out to a friend’s birthday party to play a few tunes. The instruments of choice were the Republic resonator mandolin and my beloved Sandner waldzither-to-cittern conversion. The beer of choice was Muskoka Summer Weiss.
Musical R20
The 3-speed R20 performed its job as beast of burden with aplomb, it’s zippy maneuverability undiminished by the low-slung load. At the party guitars, whistle, fiddle and recorder were also present. Tunes were played, songs were sung (not by me!) and beverages were sipped. The post-midnight ride home was warm, quiet and peaceful. I coasted through a group of muted late night revelers in the Mill Creek ravine, seeming to amuse them with my helmet light. I do love fair weather night riding, one of the great things about the approaching summer.
Midnight Musical R20
20 instruments, and I complain when I have more than three. ;0)

I don’t quite have twenty, but I’m that far off, either.

Clearly Edmonton must be having hot weather like Calgary right now. Interesting that to see you with the musical instruments on a folding bike (?).

Yep, we’ve been having some record-breaking hot weather here (well earned after suffering through the unusually long winter). The R20 is nominally a folding bike, but an extremely sturdy one.

A bike on a bridge with musical instruments. All the boxes beautifully ticked.
