Day 5 - Without a bike

7/17/2020

0 Comments

 
I didn't write about days 1, 2, 3 and 4 - I was sure I would have my bike back by today. Nope, the bike hasn't been repaired yet.

My e-bike is a nice bike when it is working properly. Unfortunately, it has been giving me trouble. The e-support often, but not always, quit on hills. That is when it was noticeable anyway. The last time I rode, on my 80th birthday, it quit altogether. I was able to ride home but I was glad I didn't have any hills to pedal on the heavy bike with no real granny gears. Today is Friday and the bike shop has had my bicycle since Monday and they haven't been able to promise that they will get around to it soon.

So instead of cycling, Janos and I have been walking. We're not used to that. But I suppose it is good to be reminded that walking is exercise and we are one-sided only riding our bikes. Obviously, I have no more daily bike pictures. But I do have pictures from our walks.

Here are some pictures from our walk along the Würm.
Picture
Got my walking shoes on again
Picture
I didn't have the right lens on my camera to get a sharper image but I was delighted to finally get any picture of a dragon fly.
Picture
Riding a bike, I wouldn't have noticed this little guy. Although I ride at almost a snail's pace.
Picture
Rowan berries - I suppose they will turn red as fall approaches.
Picture
An old tree and a new fence
Picture
The bindweed/morning glory is most decorative, but a pest to get rid of in your garden.
Picture
It looks like beavers have been at work here.
Picture
The Würm's very own Nessie.
Picture
It feels almost like a jungle here on a rainy summer day.
