Goodbye, old bike
Last month I donated my granny bike to the charity bike shop I got it from, Cyclists Fighting Cancer. I loved this bike and used it extensively (almost every day) to haul stuff around town:
Now I’ve moved, the longer-distance trips I needed to take have all evaporated (since I live closer to the centre), and it’s also a little too big for the hallway:
I’ve swapped it for a folding bike, which is decidedly out of the way of everything else. It is a very heavy model, but this isn’t too much of a problem, as I don’t really plan to take it anywhere on public transport. I still use a chain lock in public, rather than bringing it into shops.
Time will tell if I run it into the ground or keep it longer than one year.
