You know when people want to reassure you that you'll still be able to do something and they say 'it's like riding a bike, you never really forget'?
Well I clearly remember my ten year old self joyfully riding my trusty Sturmy Archer up hill and down dale in the 1970s... but can I ride the bike I've just got from our local version of Freecycle? Can I heck!
I wanted a bike to cut the time it takes to get to the lottie. My child free times are extremely scarce and it seems a waste to spend 40 mins each way on walking there on the rare times I have a babysitter and can really get on. I picked it up today and wheeled it the four miles home (excuse: had the kids with me and didn't want to leave them in a cloud of dust) but I've just had a go in the garden and I'm rubbish! It's just as well that the green manure will be dug in soon and that the caterpillars had finished off the last of the red cabbages It's not even as if it's a Tour de France style high seat, skinny tyred one either - it's a Granny shopper style with two baskets!
Can you get stabilisers for grown-ups???
