Addiction 2021.3

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Or that they’d spend that much on a senior Honda. 😜

At least bikes have many different pieces, not just one.

Yet another fraudulent charge on my credit card. This time thru bookings.com. I never use travel websites, and always book direct. So, card is cancelled and a new one being sent which will take a couple of days. I think it’s another clever tactic by my wife to keep my spending in check.
