This is Why

No.2

Almost a week of this now.

Even the birds are confused. Undecided if they want stay or flee. Hunners and hunners of them lined up on the wires this morning, flapping their wings and launching into the air for a brief burst of energy before settling back again.

Watched them a few minutes too long here, and had to pedal a bit faster than the morning deserved to get to work in time. Bit of a sweat on for the first class of the morning.

Rear wheel was making a nasty grinding noise on the ride home, think maybe the dip in the River Forth the other night might've done for the bearings. Stripped it down, cleaned it up and re-greased it all before putting back together. Not the way it had been before though, so was worse than before. Take two and had it all sorted just as the sun set on another pretty satisfying day.

This is why I bike it.
