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!
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!
The beautiful weather made for a nice lunch time ride with Piplup. I like mild winters!
Today’s daily pic is an 11:59 photo, not literally, but in spirit!
Regular readers of the blog will have noticed that I am posting a lot about my new bicycle. I absolutely love it, though! I think Bromptons are just odd, funky bikes. I’ve got some plans forming to go on a bike tour with it in 2023. Hopefully I can squeeze it into what should be a busy year of traveling.
Today I went for a long bicycle ride with Piplup. I recorded the whole adventure, so if you’d like to ride along, please watch the video below!
The photo above is of my editing screen, and the Pinky:St figurine that encourages me to keep going. 😀 The video was almost 2 hours long, so the whole rendering and uploading process took a long time. But it’s fun to create!
Here in central Texas, many of the trees’ leaves are turning a nice golden color. I don’t think I’ve really noticed it before this year… I wonder why… but anyways, I think they look amazing. The view from our backyard is so nice this week!
Today the weather was sunny and 81° F! So on my lunchbreak, Piplup and I went for a ride to the nearby hike and bike trail to see some of the Autumn colors. Please check out the video below if you’d like to come along for the ride!
