Yes, I am pretty sure why some ppl are wondering why a 12km walk is of
any significance in a newsgroup like aus.bicycle
OK, a bit of background.
Mate of mine, Raj is headed off to India for nine weeks this weekend.
Raj became an Australian citizen about 2 weeks ago and this is his first
ever trip as an Aussie
Me mate, Benny, and me decided we would have a beer or seven with Raj to
send him off - as neither of us could see him off on the weekend
As I was not falling all over the place and spilling my beers
(sacrilegious) , I decided I was NOT OK to ride home (guess how I came
to that decision?) BUT I was OK to walk home.
It is just so nice to be able to walk me and my bike home - not too many
road vehicles you can do that with
Chalk up another one for bicycles
Normally, 12kms would take me about 40mins of riding but I am happy with
the 90min walk. I am home safe and I didn't have to rely on nobody to
get me home safely
