 “Sophie on the Trail” Cedar Park, 2024

This evening, Sophie (my 1972 Peugeot bicycle) and I went for a ride on the local hike and bike trail. Despite the scorching heat, we managed to ride to the end of the trail and back without any issues. Compared to my Brompton, the Peugeot is not very comfortable, though it is much faster. When I was 12, I rode this bike on a YMCA trip from San Francisco to Torrance. I don’t remember it being uncomfortable. In fact, I barely remember how I felt on the bike, but I do recall having a lot of fun riding and camping with my friends.

Sunday afternoons are perfect for a bicycle ride. The hike and bike trail isn’t crowded, so I don’t have to navigate around families with small children and dogs taking up the whole width of the trail. Despite signs advising people not to walk more than two abreast, this rule is often ignored. However, on Sunday afternoons, I don’t have to worry about it. 😁

I rode my Brompton to the neighborhood pond to do a bit of fishing. The water was murky and yucky but the fish were biting! And on the way home I saw that the Texas bluebonnets are starting to appear. A pretty good day.
