Cycling confuses me

    I know I ain’t a man of high respect yet I enjoy and that’s good enough to me.
    I guess many drivers don’t respect cyclists because they simply don’t know how too.
    Anyway. I feel great. Broken back, broken neck, broken ankle, legs, hand, shoulder, skull, cheek bone, a few more yet I feel fantastic. At age 45 I’ve had arthritis 38 years and I’m loving it.
    No woman, no pride. Yeah, probably true yet I open my house door and like the lives of a cat is my 9 bikes. Each slightly different, each ridden (mostly) until service smooth glide required (besides the hub gear, that bike marvels me). That way I can reduce service time to a minimal.
    Hub gear made me think today.. Because so wet, I left pannier at home, wore wet jacket pants out the door and just rode with tool kit I never used bum bagged over my shoulder under jacket. 25 clicks into a slight head wind. Guessing the panniers do grab lots of wind.

    Anyway, plastics aren’t great food.. Recycle.
    Celery is natures viagra. Carbo fueled non soluble fibre.
    White vinegar soaked metal 24 hours breaks rust, just wire brush the flakes off, perfect.

    Live to ride, ride to live. What once was petrol costs to commute paid my bikes. Loving life.

    Or lyrics of lost Smiths songs?  Boatsie’s the new Morrissey, hopefully minus the support for the far-right.

    Teachers hate it when you

    Teachers hate it when you show them up particularly in front of those they feel they have power and control over, very few could ever swallow their pride and admit their error/mistake.

    I played rugby yesterday, got a smashed cheekbone/teeth and a deep muscle injury in my quad from a knee at full speed, but I went cycling this morning to help ease my pain, cycling is a cure all.

    And recycling, collected the usual strewn CO2 cannisters … grrrr

    I had best day..
    I had best day..
    Winter storm, worst so far this year. Home now, destraddled the bike and walked in, warm as toast with a wet spot at the bottom of both socks plus being a hub gear I don’t need to service anything..
    Grippy as on 38/35 tiny tread.

    YET..
    just watched a turbocharged all wheel drive ricochet of a guard rail, lock all wheels, slide up a hill, over an island, take down a big double light pole and block 2 lanes. I stopped, I now think detachable torch front lights are fantastic. A light pole horizontal at height about 2 feet is hard to see at night time and although I shone beam up at cars near 500metres then held illumination on pole hazard.. Drivers exist..

    Thanks per the compliments, I think I’m like you.. Here too, enjoy life. I do.
    Often wrong yet who cares. In high school we were taught about horrible treatment of kind man. Kind men were regarding recognition. Meanwhile, a beautiful aboriginal girl as smart as me was told by the teacher to be goalie during physical education class and our learning of hockey. I teased her (i played hockey) and l let one rip, hit the post hard, cling.. I was told off. I scored another break and banged it, ricochet top pole. She was save but would’ve hurt if ball hit.
    Nowadays, local chief is known by many, taxes still don’t contribute greatly towards a knowledge base that benefits our futures food quality and at the moment, Mortal Kombat is recruiting here in this little city of Adelaide.

    Point being.. Not much really.. Frequency plates were used to keep my skull break site active. 14 years of daily same spot headache.. FBI wrote magazine article about brainwashing criminals using skull dugery.. Local Intelligence bureau offered me a career. (I was A grade during battle fitness assessment with Australian Army during a broken wrist).

    But I don’t care. Bicycles to cover land faster than walking.
    Sail boats to cover water faster than swimming.
    Picking up plastic to take home, place in plastic bin, later recycle..
    I’m just the same as you. Animals, insects,
    notice that sort of behaviour , not opinions such as, ” he could have hurt her. ”

    My English not strong, I proved the Australian school text book of mathematics wrong twice during high school. First I was told I’m being an idiot again, prove it.. Took 5 lines of chalk on board. 2nd time I was informed that my knowledge included the location of chalk.
    Cheese.

    Just loving life too.
    I’d love to read other stories.. That’s true to me

    Actually read as poetry, it’s as good as anything my son brought home for GCSE study.

    “wore wet jacket pants out the door and just rode with tool kit I never used bum bagged over my shoulder under jacket.”

    Doesn’t that just sum up the carefree, though self sufficient nature of a cyclist?
