I’m selling Rossa, my Bianchi mountain bike. We’re trying to lessen the things we own and I think having three bicycle is too much. I can probably just keep Piplup, but I can’t bear to part with Sophie. However, Rossa is one that I don’t really ride often so I have put it up for sale. Hopefully she will find a good home!
In celebration of World Bicycle Day I went with Piplup for a ride around the neighborhood, did a little fishing (didn’t catch anything), and returned a book to the library. The weather was perfect! The fresh air an pretty clouds were so uplifting.
Days are getting warmer and longer, which means that evening bicycle rides are getting more pleasant. I enjoy picking up the mail at our mailbox which is just down the street, and then continuing on for a lazy cruise around the neighborhood. It’s fun to say hello to all the other people out enjoying their evening strolls.
It’s funny, but most people don’t wave, but almost everyone waves back. This was something that stuck with me when I read Sorry I’m Late, I Didn’t Want to Come: One Introvert’s Year of Saying Yes by Jessica Pan when she was reaching out to strangers. I also like to wave when I’m running – always to other runners, and sometimes to walkers a bicyclists. And 95% of them wave back.
Piplup and I went for a ride after the sun went down and enjoyed the nice weather and fresh air. We even came across a few deer! Very cool. Oh, and I also picked up the mail. I love the Brompton Borough bag. It holds so much.
I went for a ride this evening, hoping the rain held off. It was about 7 pm and getting dark, so I wore my beautiful hi-viz reflective “vest”. Better safe than sorry!
