Digital Pigeon

Hodiaŭ mi alvenis mia biciklo reen de butikon. Nov ĉeno kaj agordis por la vojon! Mi rajdis 18 mejloj (29 km), multaj insektoj kaj iom pluvo sur la rajdas sed ĝi estas la sola vojo al vojaĝoj.

Why do you have to suck? I was thinking that since my bicycle is in the shop and repairs are done in might be nice to go and get it.

However, the 19 mile walk for my bike doesn’t seem like a great idea, and I don’t want to go and get it with the car, so I thought I’d grab the local bus out.

This village ( read; ship of fools) is poised at a county line, so neither counties seem to care much for offering a route. In fact only one of the two has a route I can use and it’s on a 2-3 hour rotation per run because it’s a local. There is no direct run between the two places.

Now when I say village I actually mean at least 3 of them across a state line all linked up so about 13,000 people called “the valley.” FEMA recognizes it as a single unit of people. It seems large enough that there might be an express run.

So I can actually ride a bike to and from here in the time it takes the bus and go where I want.

No information about buses with bike racks on the nose either.

It’s hard to believe that in an area where they are still peeling the old trolley tracks up when they re-pave streets that they can get mass transit so wrong.

I have the Giant in the shop and so left with my commuter, an old Shogun mountain bike from 20 years ago, I went out. It still has the knobby tires I used in the snow so I thought I’d try a bit of trail today.

I found that 1.) I still don’t like trail riding…

2.) a deer tick on my leg…

It’s like a big green tunnel and I miss the vistas and the wind and the speed and abandon of the road.

Can’t say I didn’t try…again…

Things get wonky and this bird will fly…
