Having broken my front derailleur last night I dug out the old hybrid from the shed. It’s a great bike for comfortable cruising, but it is sooooo heavy! This morning I had a dentist appointment so I didn’t have to leave at the usual time. Just as well since there was thick fog this morning until at least 10am. I drove to my Dad’s place which is about 20km from work and started my ride from there. By this time it was around 10:30am. It was interesting to note that the types of people using the shared bike trail at this time were completely different to those in the early morning. There were no commuters, joggers, dog walkers or kids going to school. They had all been replaced by groups of our more senior citizens out and about along the trail, getting some exercise by walking or riding (some doing Tai Chi). At one point I passed by a mini peloton of about 15 senior riders of all shapes and sizes out for a leisurely morning cruise. It was great to see and very encouraging, I hope I’m as active when I get to their age!
