Morning ride from my house, around BWI airport twice, and home. No wind and 70s made for a great ride on the 2004 Porsche Bike X.
Follow my continuing passion to explore new adventures on Porsche bicycles. I have conquered a Century ride with a Porsche mountain bike, the Death Ride on a Porsche touring bike, the 184.5-mile Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Towpath in 2020, the 370-mile combined C&O/GAP trail in 2021 and the 237-mile Florida Coast to Coast ride in 2022. And just completed the Maryland and California Coast & Coast Porsche road bike adventure!

I helped out in the morning at the Pittsburgh Grand Prix and drove home after lunch. Weather was great in the morning. What a great event!

Pittsburgh Grand Prix, Day One
First day of the Pittsburgh Grand Prix. Great day including massive Porsche parking, vintage car racing and good friends. The event is unique as they close the streets through Schenley Park and let amateur racers compete in front of an enthusiast crowd. Also special, the very first and very last 928s were on display together. A first time anywhere. And the day ended with a bang … from a thunderstorm.

14 miles on the Bike S
Another quick 14 mile ride around my neighborhood on the 1998 Porsche Bike S today. Immediately after, I headed up to the Pittsburgh Grand Prix. Porsche is the featured marque this year. Should be a fun weekend!

Bike S ride while negotiating a Bike R purchase
While on a warm summer morning neighborhood ride on the 1998 Porsche Bike S, I kept stopping to help negotiate a deal for a 2002 Porsche Bike R carbon fiber that is for sale in Germany. Interesting morning!

1996 Bike FS pick up
A friend picked up his new 1996 Bike FS today. After a shock rebuild and general clean up and tune, the vintage Porsche Bike is off to new adventures! The magazine he is holding is the February 1998 edition of PCA's Porsche Panorama, featuring the first story PCA published about Porsche Bikes that he wrote 24 years ago.
Carbon Bike R
Found a 2002 or 2003 Porsche Bike R Carbon for sale on German eBay. Unfortunately, it is a medium size frame or I would have attempted to purchase it!
