Bicycle out again - almost 2 years
Bicycle out again - almost 2 years
Pumped oiled lubricated,
brakes adjusted, well sort of,
they're still not quite right.
Front and rear bike and helmet
USB lights re-charged.
But by the time I reached
the hillcrest on Hillcrest Avenue
my legs were like rubber
and I wasn't quite sure
whether I was steadier
standing or pedalling.
Much more confident
on the return journey
of course, but the climb
to the nearby centre,
well, we'll see soon enough.
