It&#8217;s been a <i>really<\/i> long time since I&#8217;ve ridden, and I have good excuses for not riding: most of all, that my current prosthetic leg tends to come off after about half a mile of pedaling.  <\/p>\n<p>I only went about 1\/3 of a mile when my chain locked on me.  I had to walk the bike home.  But I persisted&#8211;I riffled through John&#8217;s bike supplies and found some chain lube, which I applied liberally.  Then I spun the wheels round and round until they stopped sticking.  Then I got on and cautiously (just in case the chain froze again) went back and forth between my place and my garden.  Then I wheeled up and down the nearby hill and did donuts in the parking lot.<\/p>\n<p>I was pretty oblivious to anyone around me as I was biking in the dark.  And I suppose I did look rather strange on my red tricycle in the dark, smiling from ear to ear.  So when a car-full of college kids sang out to me as they drove slowly past me in the parking lot, I was rather startled at first. They intoned the slightly-altered chorus of a Queen song, &#8220;I want to ride your tricycle&#8230;.&#8221; (btw, I do love me some Queen).  I suppose they might&#8217;ve meant it rudely&#8211;after all I was quite an odd sight out there.  But I took it as a compliment.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>After I got home I realized that I haven&#8217;t really biked much at all since my surgery two years ago.  My lower leg was burning a bit around my incision, which wasn&#8217;t an entirely-comfortable feeling.  I suspect that there some scar tissue in there that&#8217;s getting a good stretch.<\/p>\n<p>But it feels great to be back on three wheels again.  I&#8217;ll be getting a tweak to my leg soon that will hopefully solve the falling-off problem, so I hope to be biking more often from here on out! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>my garden ride, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl.
