#lilblue — Public Fediverse posts

Saturday I did a practice ride on my twitchy wiggly 16" #bike. I'm normally too lazy to ride, except on Sundays, unless there's a group ride. Yeah, I'm feeling good about myself. 🤪 Nothing wrong with the bike, it's just me. Hence, the practice. I much prefer the 26" one, really. #TheAwkwardCyclist 🚴

Here's a photo of #LilBlue and my shoe at the killer grates. Why the shoe? Well, those grates aren't just dangerous for bikes. My foot sorta went in it. 🙄

When... um... somebody* got a flat yesterday and they asked for an air pump, I offered mine and they said it's no good for the tire because the tire is big, 26" x 1.95".

Is it good for anything? Did I just water my money? I guess I just leave this one for #LilBlue 🔵🚲 eh?

#BigBike ⚪🚲 needs the serious battery-powered air pump, which I do already have at home. It's just so heavy. 🤷‍♀️

Oh, #BigBike is a 26" #MountainBike. 😃 It folds, but it's huge and heavy. Nothing like those Bromptons or Dahon #bikes.

My other #bike is #LilBlue, a 16" Japan surplus. It's a #foldie but also nothing like those fancy expensive ones. It has a basket and rear rack. I plan to use it for small errands and short trips 😁

I mostly practice with #BigBike. Feels more stable. Not easy riding on small wheels with no #PedalAssist, especially for li'l ol' me. 🙃

Wait. You mean:
A #picture of a #plant while it is sipping latte and eating biscotti?
And the #photo of the plant is taken while I'm #cycling?
😅

Ah, I'm reminded how i used to drive around with my li'l #JadePlant ❤️ sitting in a cupholder attached to the aircon vent of the car -- so it could get more sun.

Perhaps I can do that with #LilBlue 🚲 🤔 hmm...

To those who don't know,
long story short:
the jade plant died.

Not because of joyrides. 🚗
Root rot. 💀

@jakeduhjake
Thanks. 🙂 Yeah, it's an #ebike. But I hardly use the power features. I only learned to use the throttle and pedal assist recently, thanks to kind strangers who showed me how.

I love my #bike. 😊 I chose it as my #OneBikeToRuleThemAll -- meaning no more upgrades and selling/swapping. But then I found out only wheels 20" or smaller are allowed on our metro. So I also got me an old #JapanSurplus 16" #foldie. 😁

I really need to get the handlebar/stem on my 26" #BigBike adjusted a little higher* and closer* to me. Waiting to get an appointment to get it serviced. Maybe I can do it myself but I'm worried about getting the wrong parts/sizes. It's not complicated, is it? I think I can #bike longer once I get it modified.

And my #LilBlue 16" surplus foldie needs new grips, I think. I find that I end my practice due to hand fatigue/pain due to the grip. Or do I just get padded gloves? 🤔
