I ♥ Bagels, Oceanside Blvd

I don't know why the two I Blood Pump Bagels shops in Oceanside get such good ratings on Google Maps (4.4 and 4.5 out of 5!). I'm very underwhelmed by the bagels. The one I had on this ride was dry and not very tasty. The table was dirty. And I had to wash it down with Diet Pepsi instead of Coke Zero. Maybe I should start calling it "I !♥ Bagels".

The ride was good. It was only 22 miles and I didn't run into any bike snobs that wanted to race me.

And my electric bike worked beautifully. I rode home on the same route I used to take with my non-electric bike when I lived in Oceanside. The three big hills on the route that used to just about kill me on my regular road bike were a breeze with the e-bike even on ECO mode.
