I want to ride my bicycle…

Winnipeg Beach, Manitoba

Wow, summer’s here with gusto… liberated the old bicycle from the shed this week, and had a pleasant drive along the lake (with water levels several feet higher than normal) with my Sweetie… looking forward to more times in the saddle in the months ahead.

I now ride a somewhat clunky 1980s-vintage 18-speed mountain bike, but I did once mount an authentic velocipede (center bottom in image above, with the huge front wheel) that belonged to a neighbour of ours when we lived on Florastrasse in Reinach, Switzerland, back in the 1960s… and I have owned sleeker road-bikes back in the day.
