I want to ride my bicycle… March 18, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — danishcrush @ 12:01 pm

We bought a second bicycle and got the one that I brought “street ready” so that we can enjoy the sunny weather in full effect when it makes an appearance.  I can be seen almost any given day clumsily making my way through the streets of Copenhagen pretending like I am just like everyone else- someone who sees cycling for transportation as ordinary as brushing their teeth every morning. 

 

I am slowly learning about all of the things that a person has to take into account when mounting their bicycle to run even the smallest of errands.  Just yesterday, I got about a mile away from home when the heavens opened up sending brute forced winds at me head on.  I was peddling harder than I ever have in my life and was seemingly going nowhere.  By the time I arrived at my final destination, about three miles futher, I had wind enduced tears running down my face, and I was sure that I would not be able to make it back home by any means other than the shear fact that the wind would be helping me in the other direction. 

 

So, I am taking it one day at a time, and I am certain that there will be many more entertaining stories on this subject to come.

My bike is the one on this end… this is in our courtyard where you won’t see cars parked in the driveway… just bikes.
