Travel | Mr. G's Mind

A few years ago, I converted my 30-plus-year-old mountain bike to electric (eBike Build), a really fun project!

Because my battery holder design looked like a giant capacitor, I added a ‘Flux Capacitor‘ decal to each side, a nod to a classic 1980’s movie. Do you know which movie it is?

Recently, I went to a classic movie night, you guessed it, I saw “Back To The Future.” They even had a Delorean outside the theater for pictures – a very cool Car! This old guy (below) asked me take his picture for him, which, of course, I did. The theater was packed, and the movie, well… it is still a Great movie!

After the movie, it dawned on me that my bike had an energy storage device (battery), but not a Flux Capacitor. I wondered if they might make a small, movie prop Flux Capacitor. A quick search, and behold… a 3 inch Flux Capacitor, complete with light and sound. Perfect! I bought one.

After some thought on the best place to mount it on the bike… eureka, it looked fabulous. Now, when I ride down the street, the bike really turns heads, especially at dusk!

If they show the movie next year at classic night, I think I’ll put on a gray wig, a lab coat, and park my bike right next to the Delorean.

Imagine, a time traveling car and bike together. “Great Scott Marty!“

Recently, I was going through some old travel photos. While looking through a folder on my computer, I came across photos of an older trip to Boston.

What’s not to love about Boston! What a great city. So much to do and see.

As I clicked through the pictures, I noticed that many were of the American Flag. At the time, I remember thinking that the flags were just about every where I went. It makes me wonder if that is true today? I hope so.

To me the flag represents – unity, as a nation of “ALL” people. Yes, there are rips and tears in ‘old glory,’ but we should ‘continuously’ identify the holes and work together to repair them. United we stand, divided we fall.

Here’s a song I wrote, “Red, White, and Blue… These Colors Don’t Run.” You might enjoy listening to it while viewing the pictures.
