Yesterday I rode—on Tosca, my Mercian fixed gear— for the first time since my move. It was a short trip, past the Garden and Zoo, but it felt good to do something not move- or work-related.
Although I’d previously done some cycling in this area, as Anniebikes says in her comment, there’s more to explore. Even after 21 years of living in Astoria, I found new rides and variations on familiar ones.
My new apartment has nice views and is much lighter and airier than my old place. I wonder: Will the sun steaming in my window energize me to ride more?Will the fog creeping by lure me into winding down the bike lane by the gardens?
