Old fat tired rider
Pumped up the tires and hopped on my trusty old steed. Bought it brand new 51 years ago, and over time did a lot of upgrading. Not 100% original anymore, but I still have the all the old parts (except for the Rigida serrated rims). Anyhow, I hadn't ridden it in at least 5 years. I'd been so used to riding ballooners for so long that I'd forgotten what narrow tires felt like. I'd also forgotten what it felt like to have more than one or two speeds. The other thing that skipped my mind, was that pedaling backwards wasn't the way to get me stopped. I don't quite have my sea legs back, but all in all, it was a great ride, and I've moved this bike to a more accessible location for more frequent riding.
