It’s My Folding E Bike

It folds in half

I can tuck it in the back of my car

And follow my grandkids when the they go mountain biking.

Follow them for a while. Dangerous stuff mountain biking. For a grandpa.

Grandpas topple over easily enough without the help of tree roots, ruts in the path and the slippery bits.

Today, this morning, I set out early, to beat the crowds, the cyclists, the serious walkers ~ the dog walkers

7.30am. And I met the crowds, the cyclists, the serious walkers ~ the dog walkers. -all getting out early.

Summer time, a lively breeze, it was warm.

Very soon I’m out in the farm country. The cow cockies are out, they’ve been up for some time – tractors, mending fences, stroking a chin and staring at a drain that don’t drain. Always time for friendly wave.

There’s still plenty of life in the bike battery, but I’m running out of steam.

A two point turn. Wind is now in my favour

Homewards

Soon coffee

And one last look at the farm country
