Meet the New Ride

Meet Flash, my “new” bike. As with Harvietta, this was a secondhand bike. This one was handed over by Julian. He decided he didn’t need to put his shoulder at risk by riding a bike. It’s much lighter than the old bike. It’s also silver. One guy passed me on the trail a couple of weeks ago and complimented me on how shiny it is. (Naturally, I didn’t tell him it had barely been ridden before I got it.)

Flash.

The one drawback of my new ride is the lack of a “granny gear”. I have several short steep slogs on my usual rides where the granny gear makes a difference between riding and walking the bike uphill. One may be forthcoming, when I get the bike fully fitted to my frame.
