This is a first: riding four different bicycles in one day, all for transportation! It was purely unintentional - I was transferring both the borrowed Boda Boda and my Clementine from our family's camp the 6 miles back home, and unwilling to try both long frames on our vehicle's bike rack, over the course of the day I ended up riding 4 bikes.
It went something like this: rode Boda Boda home, returned on Peugeot (my husband riding with me), retraced route on Clementine, then a while later, I rode my commuter Ross, sporting lights, loaded with a few belongings - enough to stay overnight - stopping for a few groceries en route, arriving in darkness back at camp. As I rode the last leg, it occurred to me that all four bicycles had platform pedals.
Have you ever ridden several different bicycles in one day?
Yes! One fine summer day, I rode my Heavy Duti to meet my friend Carl for lunch, then we grabbed the Biketown (Portland bike share bikes) to ride to the bluffs. Later that night I rode the Crested Butte. Not four, but close enough!
ReplyDeleteBaseball players can hit for the "cycle" (one of each type of hit single -homerun) you Annie have just rode for the Cycle - 4 bikes with different frames- in one day! Chapeau!
ReplyDeleteDid I win a prize? Perhaps, tickets to a Mariners' game? Ha ha! I had to look up what you're talking about "hitting for the cycle". It's pretty rare, which in my case is the same. I've ridden a two wheeler for 47 years and this was first "cycle". Pretty cool.
DeleteKinda funny this came up I was thinking about the "Cycle" last month and decided for September I would do a "cultural" cycle during the month: Live music (done), Live Sports - going to the Mariners on the 20th, A Museum (going to EMP later this month) and a National Park- Going to Mt. Rainier this weekend. I may have to come up with some sort of Bicycling oriented Cycle now.
