Day 5 - Without a bike

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.

Got my walking shoes on again

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.

Riding a bike, I wouldn't have noticed this little guy. Although I ride at almost a snail's pace.

Rowan berries - I suppose they will turn red as fall approaches.

An old tree and a new fence

The bindweed/morning glory is most decorative, but a pest to get rid of in your garden.

It looks like beavers have been at work here.

The Würm's very own Nessie.

It feels almost like a jungle here on a rainy summer day.
