Today, I took my first bike ride this
spring/summer. I am ashamed that it took so long to get this done, but glad
that it is done. We rode about ten miles this morning. The great thing is that I
feel quite good. Some body parts still work.
Leroy did have to wait for me from
time to time, but that is not bad. He no longer has a bike computer so he does
not know how much he has ridden this spring. Rather he has the computer, but
the holder and sensors are on the stolen bike. He had hoped to find a good
replacement sale, but has not seen one yet.
He is going to get another set of
handlebars on his current bike. This will allow him to sit more upright. His hands
fall asleep because he puts too much pressure on them when riding. Hopefully
this will solve the problem. Unfortunately his bike is in the shop until Wednesday
because they had to order the part. He will also get a kick stand. Not having
one means the bike has fallen over a few times, once his review mirror broke. He
has also gotten grease from the chain on his pants so that requires some extra
care to remove. Soon this bike will be just the way he wants it to be.
The only thing that is sad is that my
Fitbit does not record bike riding so it looks as if I have hardly moved today.
Oh, well we are going to a 40th anniversary party this afternoon.
Perhaps in the evening I can get in some more steps.
