We've had rain for two weeks now. We need to setup our bike trainer whenever we want to use it. So my lovely bicycle was put on the trainer for a while.
In the garage, if I open the door, I can see the view outside, and also Mr. WheelP. managed to find the close spot for putting the old odometer, so I didn't get bored so easily like before.
At least I can check how long a distance I pedaled, that's very important to me.
Unlike me he doesn't care the distance, he just set to see the time which I just can't stand. It's boring.
Meanwhile I decided to use our folding bike for road biking regularly. Luckily the folding bike has fenders on both wheels!! which I didn't notice before. Because I didn't know the necessity.
I really wanted to try it riding on wet roads, but we couldn't in the morning.
Then, we had a chance in the afternoon!
Even though the folding bike handle is wobbly and it's hard to get speed because of the small tires, I was happy to ride with my new interest.
Next time I need to find the appropriate gear to use for each slope.
It's hot again. So we canceled the bike challenge today even though I planned it last night. In addition this is the Forth of July weekend, it might be full of cars on the street.
So I made a list of movies and books about bicyclists.
First I requested our local library to get the book, "Miles from Nowhere" by Barbara Savage. And Mr. WhP bought the kindle version of "A wheel within a wheel: How I learned to ride a bicycle" by Frances Willard. 99 cents!
And we watched a 2012 movie "Rising from Ashes", quite an impressive documentary film. We both liked it.
Well, unexpectedly soon, our recently purchased bike gear was delivered!
A bicycle trainer. Just a stand, so I have to use my metronome to hear the count.
He put it in the garage, first. But I asked him to bring it in the room. That's more fun.
We both tried already about 5 min. each, and got tired so soooon. My reality is too far from my dream again.
But I will do better. Maybe a little by little.
