On 21 April I bought a new bike from the BX. It is a Cannondale Adventure 4 trekking bike that is good for dirt or gravel roads, has tires with deep tread on them. It is beautiful, sky blue, a woman’s bike with a step-through frame, is aluminum, has 24 gears grip shift, V brakes, & has a comfortable big saddle. Bill has put black plastic-coated aluminum, lightweight fenders on my bike today. They were some that had been sitting in the attic, so a good reuse. He plans to put a rack on my bike soon.
On Sunday we all went on the bike trail, my first time with my new bike. It was a bella day but warm. We weren’t gone that long because I didn’t have any clean water or cranberry juice to drink. The acacia trees were in bloom wafting their sweet perfume smell throughout the trail & the fields. A delicious honey is made from the pollen that the bees collect from them. We could hear the loud hum from the bees, a kind of meditation for us.
