Cycling in Clear Lake / Nassau Bay




BCO had a bike ride in my new neighborhood, so I joined them and got to have a look around. We rode past the lake and visited a few parks. I’m on the blue bike, wearing the blue helmet and blue backpack. No, I didn’t coordinate that on purpose.



Click to read sign.
 There seem to be an awful lot of gators this far south. I see signs warning about them everywhere.  Two swam up to us during a break. People must be feeding them. It may be cute when they’re small, but when they become 12-footers – not so much. This one looks pretty large.





I think I’ll limit my swimming to the apartment pool…

Good to know the area and know where not to become gator snacks.

'People must be feeding them.' Now there's a statement that can be read more than one way.

12 footers? The Crocodiles in OZ grow around 20 feet and some are bigger than that, theyve been known to grab and eat full size Buffalo (and the odd tourist)

If I'd been riding the bike I would have co-ordinated what I was wearing to match the bike because that's the stupid kind of poser I am. :D

Definitely stay OUT of the water! (still laughing at Vince's comment)

Alligators? Yikes!

I know I say this everytime I visit your blog and you've posted a hiking, camping, or biking adventure: I'm so envious!
