Mr Larrington has just ridden a bicycle for the first time in about four years
Two bicycles, in fact. First up, Depravo the Roadrat, who is 64" fixed. Slight difficulty in clipping in trailing foot the first time but otherwise OK. Next the towpath bike. Clipped in first time, gears work, newly-bled brakes work. Everything works, in fact, apart from Mr Larrington, who aches even from a short spin round the block.
The small question: next up for fettling - upright trike or Cosimo the Stealth Baron? Bear in mind that while Cosimo is street-legal, I should have to be mad enow to have mad people living in my beard afore actually riding him on the road. Also I have to take his seat/tail fairing off to get at the back brake...
The big question: should I ride fixed or gears to the NA meeting in Wanstead on Monday?
