Today they weather was sunny and warm: 82°F / 27.8°C. Perfect for a lunchtime ride wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Gotta take advantage before another freeze comes!

Bicycling is Fun

“Piplup” Cedar Park, 2023

I have so much fun bicycling, especially on my Brompton folding bicycle. Unlike my road bicycle, the Brompton seems at home going at a relaxed pace, with many stops to smell the roses and take photos.

The Brompton is so easy to dismount too. It’s actually really fun to ride it like a scooter, standing with the left foot on the pedal, but having your whole body on the left side of the bike, then hopping off directly into a walk. I’m still practicing the opposite: Pushing off like you are riding a scooter or skateboard, then getting on the seat and pedaling away.

I spent some time practicing this at the local stadium parking lot this afternoon, and then had to take a picture of Piplup. 😀

I hope you had a great day!

Light Storms

“Afternoon Clouds” Cedar Park, 2023

The forecast said it would be raining, but the ground looked dry so I went for a neighborhood run. It was fun to look at where the darkest clouds were and imagine them soaking the ground below them and happily, they stayed if the distance.

The area behind my right knee (I don’t know what that is called) has been sore lately so I need to keep an eye on it. But it’s not preventing me from running or bicycling so that’s a good thing.

I hope you had a nice day!
