I'm too Old, Too Fat & Too Unfit For This...
« on: May 08, 2024, 06:19:47 PM »
After around 12 years of it hanging in the garage, I finally dragged the old push bike down yesterday and gave it a wash...

After pumping up the tyres and giving it the once over I figured I'd better drag out the helmet so I could take it for a spin.

Well, a lap around the block and I'd had enough...I'm too old, too fat & too unfit!  :rofl

Does anyone want to buy a pushie, one careful owner and it's only been ridden to church on Sundays... :whistle

The reason I bought the bike in the first place was to lose weight!

It didn't work, I've put weight on since buying it...

Apparently you need to actually ride it...no-one told me that!!!  :||||  :rofl

I've taken mine on the trains to the last station on the Belair and Seaford lines and ridden it home from there.

Oh, it’s an EV, never mind.

Good onyas, both of you!  :thumbsup

Got nothing against EVs in certain situations, Michael!  :grin
