back on my bike

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2013.11.27

I was sick on Monday of last week, and wound up missing a whole week of cycling as I rode the TTC. Last night, after gritting my teeth and just getting through it for five consecutive (work) days, I decided that I'd had enough. A 90 minute trip home when I was trying to get home early pushed me back to my bike, ready or not.

I was mostly ready. The "wet flurries" that was by mid-afternoon threatening to turn into an actual snow-storm just stayed as rain. I got home without incident.

I feel fortunate that I enjoyed the blandishments of modernity. I had hip replacement and root canal. I was able to travel on airplanes. I was able to take cheap food for granted. I went to the movies. I enjoyed rock 'n' roll. And now I'm ready to move on.
