Led Zeppelin were on the radio.
With intention of learning to ride.
Riding fixed feels me bucked in the arse shaking soreness from my hide.
On straight stretch, wind feeling fast.
No need of brakes, emergency issue in case cut off while spinning fast.
I thought legs would grow from pushing hard.
Yet on roll down, the hamstrings take tense while a bucking horse shakes my lard.
A short hill heats my drive.
Glad I gave it ago, enjoyed, survived,, just ride.

Inspired!! Chapeau!!
Apologies for the profusion of '!'s but reading that brought a smile to my face after a shit day at work and the horror that is Thameslink.
Many thanks Boatsie.
I don't normally understand Boatsie.
But this time I did.
Completely.
Love it.
what's this?)
Some would say that it is the exhiliration of cycling put into words.
Some would say that it is the rantings of a mad man.
I say it's both.

Reminds of that song they do, you know the one that goes Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah at the beginning.
That would be "Immigrant Song."
To the tune of Black Dog?
Dazed and confused, I think.
I can't unread that!
