Started Cycling Again

No Comments

After a long delay through a busy June, I finally got my bicycle out and ready to ride.  I am getting in better shape now just riding laps in the subdivision and hopefully get out on the trails soon.  (Link to a PDF version from NIRPC available here.)

At the risk of sounding like a 10 year old being overly proud of his wheels – I present- ‘Ol’ Blue’, my current bike:

Note that it is a shaft drive bicycle – no chain so I don’t get grease on my trousers. Very handy for commuting to work. Note the fenders – I am old fashioned enough that I do not want water and purple mulberry juice sprayed all over me by the tires.

Shifting is on the hand grip. 7 speeds is about the same range as 17 gears on a chain bike. An 8 speed chainless offers about the same range as 20 gears on a chain bike.

Anyway it feels good to get out and ride again.
