I Y my bicycle
I needed to go to the bank to deposit a check (why do we still use checks that can't be electronically deposited somehow?) and I decided to ride my old city bike instead of my new(ish) road bike, for nostalgia's sake. I used to ride it to and from work every day. But lately, I ride my road bike almost exclusively. Even on errands around town.When I started off, I noticed how clunky it was changing gears. How hard it was to accelerate. How much more work it was to make the wheels on the bike go round and round. I had to stand up to accelearate to the speed I wanted to be at. "Bicycle," I thought, "you suck."
And then I hit a downhill section and began to coast a bit. And without thinking about it, I did something that's I can't really do on my road bike: a bunny hop. Followed by a wheelie.
"I love you, bicycle."
