Out for bike ride

[DNG]

We got out today to have some exercise time..
Our son has a 75% restored 1973 Schwinn Town and Country single speed Trike (Chicago Built, true welded)

He Diffidently gave me a workout... although he does know how to brake when he going down a decline from a small covered bridge, today I just knew he wasn't in some cases...
So, I had to run with Camera in tow to get in front of him a few times that he needed to turn right or left....to avoid a crash through the forest bushes.
He thought it was hilarious.... that 'daddy' had to try to stop him......14 year old's, Sheesh....

I also used AF/ C / Tracking on my X-E2 and XF35mm with a mid sized AF point... (works better with my 18mm because of the deeper DoF at similar f/stops)

Enjoy...

That last photo says it all. Pure Joy! That photo makes my day 🙂

From one bike rider to another, tell Nick to never give it up and bravo for the restoration of a classic, awesome ride!

Thanks... he does love riding his trike.
Next year... we will get the body restored, including the wheels. Last year, we got the mechanical's and new tires up to speed... it took 3 weeks for the shop to find the Schwinn 27" tires.

I like Nick's expression of joy on that last picture. BTW is that goose neck backward or is it suppose to be that way on a trike?

All 3 are photos that give me a lift. Nike, the forest and the bike.
