RE: An Autumn Bike Ride

in Cyclingyesterday

This is the case when comments not less intresting than the post itself.

We call such locks not D- but U-locks. I obtained for myself an Abus long ago, on ebay - it came to me from UK! For my daughter I obtained more cool and complicated Cryptonite U-lock, and I never was into this sort of 'metal wire' shitprotection that can be cut in two clicks.

I always pimp my ride

what does it mean? My EN wasnt enough to decipher this, lol

I had been contemplating getting one for the last few years but was hesitant because I was concerned that there'd be nowhere to store it. Then, I got up one morning and thought, "I NEED a bike in my life."

This is excellent, exciting, marvelous. I like it!
By the way - where do you store it, if i may ask?

U-lock makes sense!
I have one plus this lock.

Pimp my ride

It means to upgrade or add style to a vehicle. It's from a popular US show, where a group of mechanics collected and restored some old crapped cars, and added excessive bling, which made them look tacky (but eye-catching).😆

Where do you store it

Ah, that's the key question and the only reason why it took me so long to purchase a bike. I can store it on top of the boat, and if I'm in bad areas or travelling under low bridges, the bike fits inside the boat.
I decided that I couldn't miss out on having something that brings me so much joy because of a storage problem.
I could have gone for an electric folding bike, which is practical for boaters, but I didn't want to worry about charging my bike, I love exercise, and a Dutch-style bike is my preferred choice:)))

Nice!

...and this part I'd say - Great!!

Happy that this 'one day' happened and you are a member of international cycling brotherhood again 😊

you are a member of international cycling brotherhood again

I'm so happy to be back on my bike too, and I just wanna stop everyone in the streets, and say, "Hey, go get a bike." 😆
