A new park just opened in our town, and it has a large lake at its center. I went with Piplup to check out the fishing, and although we didn’t catch anything, we had a very nice ride. And as a bonus, I got a tip about a good fishing spot from another fisherman. Score!
Many people buy the rear rack for their Bromptons just so that they can have a more stable stance for it when it is folded. But I found that the rack and the Brompton’s low top-tube are perfect for carrying a fishing pole. The other end of the poles (two sections) are secured to the top-tube with simple velcro straps, although you can simply tie it with a string too.
I put my small tackle box in the Brompton Borough Large bag in front. A nice combo for a fishing trip!
I got the urge to go fishing so I headed to the neighborhood pond to cast a line. The water level was pretty low so it wasn’t ideal by any means, but it was still fun!
It’s the start of a very warm week here, so I thought it would be a waste if I didn’t go outside for my lunch break. I didn’t realize that the clouds were putting on a show, though!
Sunday bicycle rides are so fun. That’s all.
Today the temperature reached into the mid-80s so I went for a ride to the park after work. I didn’t think I’d be wearing my Birkenstock sandals in February, but here we are! My feet are so bright, aren’t they?
I got new eyeglasses last week, and I opted to add the UV-activated tinting to the lenses. It makes cycling and running much more convenient because I don’t have to switch to my other glasses. The new lens-coatings do not get as dark as my clip-on sunglasses, but they do make a difference and I am satisfied with them.
I hope you had a great day!
I was hoping for a beautiful sunset, but it turned out to be kind of overcast and grey. Still fun to go out and ride a bike, though!
I put a kickstand on my bicycle, and it’s very convenient, but I definitely need a flat platform to put under it when on dirt or grass. Today, my iPhone had that task. It’s not a long-term solution so I need to find something else to put under the kickstand.
For my motorcycle, I have a flattened soda can in the tank bag, but I think something a little more elegant would match the Brompton. Gotta find something.
