I went to the farmers market and then to Fairlawn Plaza Shopping center on my folding bike. I love that bike. It does not have much of a top end as far as speed is concerned, but it scoots along just fine. I think I went about 24 miles round trip today . I crashed it a couple of weeks ago, so I am much more careful on it now. The scrapes have healed up except for a small area on my shoulder.
Foling bike ride
A diary of Steve's biking adventures. I ride to help me cope with loneliness. Its better than drinking whiskey I guess.

Amazing grace
I crashed my bike 7 days ago, and my injuries are almost completely healed. Wow. I landed my face on concrete! No broken bones, no scars. God loves me I think

Fixed my folding bike
I went to the bike shop today, and I bought a new brake lever for 7 dollars. I installed it on my folder bike (I broke it when I crashed), and it works like new. After that, I took my folding bike for a ride. I went 20 miles on it. I was very cautious after I crashed it last week. I will always wear my helmet from now on!
I also picked up the rim for my mountain bike.

Crashed my new bike! Ouch!
I tried to ride my folding bike like a mountain bike bike, and I crashed! I got road rash on my face and on my shoulder. Ouch! I broke the brake lever on my new bike too. I tried to get up, but I got light headed and I had to lay back down on the ground. A couple came out, and asked if I was OK. I said that I will be OK, and I just need a minute to recover. I layed on the ground for a long time before I could get up. I was about 5 miles from home, and I was worried I might not make it. But, I was able to get home on my own power.
Crashed my foding bike, OUCH!

I could not wait
I had to go get my new folding bike and try it out. I went 20 miles on it, and it was great. It won't keep up with a road bike, but it scoots along just fine. I really like the bell. I can warn people when I am passing.
Bought a new bike
I broke 4 spokes on my mountain bike, so I rode my road bike today. I went 11 miles in 45 minutes! That's 15 minutes faster than I could do it on my mountain bike. I went to the bike shop after church, and I saw a sweet little folding bike for 430 dollars. I had to buy it. I think I went about 30 miles today.
