I love bicycles and bicycling and could bore you to tears recalling voluminous stories of my many bicycles, accessories, trips, and adventures. I would bicycle everyday if I could, and do so in reasonably good weather.
Several years ago, Belinda and I took off at 6am, rode our tandem bicycle 65 miles on a round trip, returning home at 3pm. On one Dead of Winter vacation, we rode our folding bikes from one hotel in South Beach to another on Key Biscayne.
Even though I continue to regularly bicycle, last Summer my longest round trip was 15 miles and I believe Belinda put less than 20 miles on her bicycle.
Old age and past injuries have caught up with us.
Soooooooooo...
I decided to motorize my old single speed bicycle that has been hanging in storage for years. I took it apart and did some maintenance to it, readying it for the build, attaching the frame and one wheel to supports. I kept parts that will be used later in an old milk crate:
This is the kit which is scheduled to arrive today:

DAVEY DO UNCHAINED!
I am so glad to see you on this Blue Side, see you've been perusing some of my threads, supporting me, and leaving comments, No Stars.
I would love to stay and play, but Belinda has me chained in the bed room, torturing me.
Making me put down a new hardwood floor.
I have not laid a hardwood floor for 30 years and can tell you my 35 year old temporal ancestor would have had it done on a day or two. I'm on day three and might get it done today.
Maybe you and I can play after I get my chores done, No Stars.

Davey, Have you ever heard the expression, "Drunk as a bicycle", or is that just a Southern expression?
Aw, shucks, you just are happy I click on "Like" on a lot of your posts. ?
No, but I did update the old saying, "It's as easy as falling off a (bicycle)".
I like external gratification as much as the next frog. However, I will do art, ride my bicycle, and debate just for the pure pleasure of the experience.
