Bike


Recently, I've taken to cycling again - the weather has been better, and my wrist bone has healed completely after my accident in August. I've been putting it off a while, I admit, but I couldn't avoid it any longer. I added the new lights and reflective strips, pumped up the wheels, and hit the road for an hour or two in the sunset. Starting off it was easy, but I took a detour via the local hyper-mega-ultra-market, where I picked up 11 litres of liquids in 2-for-1 deals. I grunted like a packhorse on the way back.

Now I'm back home, I've just weighed the booty. 26lbs and almost two stone of stuff. No wonder my calf muscles ached at the end of my return journey. I was pulling an extra 15-20% of the previous weight on muscles.

I enjoyed it, even though I was sweating like a rapist as I returned home. I'll be cycling more often this summer.
