The pleasures of illegal cycling
I had completely forgotten the pleasures of illegal cycling! Leaving
aside the dragging disc brakes (until I cleaned them of crud with a few sharp stops) and the small smear of chain oil on my shorts, I rediscovered the delights of zipping along into wind at 20mph, rolling along a smooth road at 30 and the extra space form the "WTF???" factor. I only once wished I'd remembered to charge the Air Zound, when Mr Audi 2 decided that because Mr Audi 1 decided it was safe to cross to the other side of the road to go past roadworks because, being a cyclist, I am either stationary or of zero width, so it was also safe for him to do so. But ******* in Audis are a constant, and I suppose one should not tabulate constants. I especially enjoyed, after a couple of years of Bromming, the 27 usable gears, albeit with a touch of diplomacy betwixt me and bike when selecting the outer ends. And oh, the comfort! Apart form the legs, which reminded me forcefully when ascending a long hill that the Brom uses subtly different muscles. Breathing is so easy, though, which is great for an asthmatic. I will remember to get the illegal bike out more often this summer, I think! And now, an ice-cream.
