Day 179

May 1, 2020

Last Sunday I decided to fix my beach cruiser. It had been sitting in the garage for several years, neglected, collecting dust. The tires were so flat, the rims were touching the ground. I was worried the inner tubes might be shot. Luckily, once I put air in the tires, they proved to be intact. A friend brought some chain lube over and once that was taken care of, it was set to go.

This morning I went for a ride. No real plan, just a thirty minute jaunt around the neighborhood. It was the best thing I’ve done in a really long time. It was a lovely morning made even better by the sense of freedom from being back on a bike. I’m not sure why it took so long. Definitely planning on getting out there often.
