No Bikes in Tahoe Unless You Count the Ones at Rosie’s

A couple of weeks ago, hubby and I caught a tail wind and landed on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. I’m not trying to be cute about the tail wind, the wind was absolutely, chillingly brutal! (Yes, I am prone to exaggeration but it’s a birth right. I’m Texan)  As I tried to pry my eyes open against the wind and swirling sand and debris I could just make out the Lake and it was stunning. I can imagine that Lake Tahoe is overrun with holiday makers during the spring and summer; it was actually quite pleasant the day we left. Nevertheless, we had a great time checking out the little towns that dot Hwy 50. I fell in love (I think) with Truckee. I write ‘I think’ because we essentially darted from the car to the nearest shelter to get a glimpse of the main street, then satisfied, darted back to the car.

One place we hunkered down in was Rosies Cafe. We could do much outside and there weren’t too many bike shops to explore so Rosie’s was the next best thing. Not only was lunch really good, they had all these antique bikes hanging from the ceiling.

Who doesn’t need a basket-woven bike!
