Coeur d’Alene Bike Trip - Day 11

Sherry the B&B proprietor served us a delicious breakfast, after which I rented an incumbent bike for a couple of hours from the local bike shop (the Cycle Haus).

The Incumbent Bike I Tried Out

I rode it a ways up and back on the bike path, which goes along the southeast side of the lake at this point.

I had fun riding it, and I can see why people like them. It seemed like it was lot easier on my bottom and my neck. After I’d finished, I brought my own bike in and had them check tire pressure and spray some WD-40 on the chain, in preparation for tomorrow’s ride.

On the way back to the B&B, I passed a little park where a fellow was giving a talk about reptiles to a bunch of kids. He’d brought along a tortoise and a large boa for them to see.

Fun With Reptiles!

It was another hot day, so I went for a short swim in the lake in the afternoon. Back at the B&B, Sherry had made some refreshing peach ice tea, and a berry cobbler. Yum!
