"When I drive my car, I am not driving - I am participating in a conspiracy called traffic. I will walk." Jacques 'Jacques' Liverot - The Day Today.
This morning I cycled into work. Yesterday evening I cycled home from work. Both seemed to somehow have me cycling against the wind, and both were the most gruelling cycle journeys of my life. I think my bike might need a little maintenance. The wheels are flat, the brake blocks are rubbing, the frame is rusting, the gears are out of line, the tyres are balding, the saddle wobbles, the whole thing is in need of serious attention, either from me or from a scrap metal merchant.
This evening, I'll cycle home from work. Perhaps I'll take the time to fix the bike. Perhaps, tomorrow morning, like Liverot, I will walk.
