Bike

When I was a child I owned a Raleigh 20 bicycle which I used to ride round to my friends' houses, never very far away. Since then I have only borrowed a bicycle twice, again for fairly short, if frightening, trips in Oxford. Today was a monster trek; first out to the West of Oxford to buy a new laptop, where only the display model remained in stock despite the website suggesting otherwise; then into central Oxford to meet for coffee, visit an exhibition of art produced by detainees at Campsfield Detention Centre and collect a prescription for my rapidly developing suspected arthritis; then back out West to collect the laptop after all its display software had been uninstalled; then to the East of Oxford for a Nepalese meal, and finally to the North for a comedy show. I suspect it was more the cycling than the arthritis that I was very aware of after all that but I hope my GP will be pleased that I was exercising and not resting my ankles.
