bicycle

A friend lent me one of his bicycles.

He used to make them and I guess he has a barrel of them.

This one has a wide seat with a back it, like a chair. You lean back a bit and that back is pretty nice. But it is that wide seat that makes the big difference. God did not intend for old guys to ride bicycles or he would have put our prostate in a different location, but with the new bike I can ride.

The problem is that the new bicycle has a lot different geometry than "regular" bikes, so riding it is not automatic.

So I ride and I ride. Not long rides, my legs are not good for that yet and I am still not really sure I won't dump the whole thing.

I did that once. IT wasn't nice!
