Believe it or not it has been 2 years since I got on my bike! I had a fall 2 years ago and got my foot caught in the lock chain and had to be rescued by several passer byes. A bit traumatic for me and the bike was twisted. As I have established osteoporosis, I was very nervous about getting back on and then the corona rules enabled me to avoid getting back on. Today everything was right, no wind, quiet roads, the battery was full and John had used his latest gadget to pump up the tyres!
Thankful for:
I enjoyed this ride to the full - smelling the scents of the countryside, meeting the occasional riders, seeing the changes!
What a wonderful capture with lovely leading lines and scenery for riding. Good for you getting back on the bike, it must have been fun with a full battery :-)
@julzmaioro I am taking extra care, thank you Julia - when stopping and then starting again the electrics take a brief moment to start and so you have to select a really low gear to start and the pedals on the upside.
It takes guts to climb back in the saddle after coming off in such spectacular fall…you must feel mighty pleased with yourself & making me feel I should have kept my bike perhaps! Nothing like sailing along in the countryside on a lovely day.
You are nicely away from the road there too which adds to the enjoyment.
@happypat I kept putting it off, Pat, day after day - always some excuse. But I said to myself today I have to do it! The electrics on this bike make biking easy - you just have to be safe getting on and off!
Oh you use to bike every where from what I remember and it was a very cute bike. I don’t believe it was electric though. I’m sure you are extra careful now. Good for you getting back on the bike.
Oh Maggiemae I’m so happy you were able to get back on your bike especially since they were no tragedies involved. On top of that it gave you a beautiful photo for the day.
@lesip I've had this bike - the red electric one for over 8 years now, Leslie. Before that I had an ordinary bike but I was much younger and much stronger!
How pretty! Glad you got back on the bike and was able to have a good experience! I was told I have osteoporosis late last year. I was not happy to hear that. :(
