So I have two bikes, right? One goes on the trainer and it's a regular mountain bike and I have to struggle to get my leg over the bar.
The other is a folder and it's step-through and kind of upright and Zack doesn't approve of it much because he thinks upright is bad for one';s back. Maybe it is when you ride hard, but of course I don't Do you know what I'm about to say? Of course you do!
I got on Red Bike--the folder--and I rode it right around the block until I ran out of places I would ride without a helmet because I wasn't expecting to go more than back and forth in front of my own house so I didn't put a helmet on.
Well.
That was easy. I'm icing my leg now but only on general principles.
What this means, is it means I am free to go roving when Zack has the car. It means I can ride a bike to the farmer's market and all around downtown. It means also that my leg is really truly making progress and I'm going to be a mobile little thing.
Oh also I'm putting my hands in my pockets going upstairs except when I'm tired. This is not so much to keep my hands off the railing, though it has that effect, but to keep me from hiking my shoulders and limping, and to make me put my weight solidly on each foot. I'm feeling kind of smug because I dreamed it up myself.
Note to Nick: no, I won't be bringing my bike on to BART.
