26 Miles

An Undisclosed Location

On my Fuji Absolute,
I ride and I ride,
I train for a race,
with my calloused hide.

26 miles not too bad,
I planned to do today,
I did 16 that was it,
it was mechanical I’m sorry to say.

My tears back I choked,
for my bike had broked,
and my heart soon would follow suit.
but alas like a joke
it was only a spoke,
so I didn’t say shi*, I said shoot.

You may see, you just might,
a man carrying a bike,
don’t think him crazy or dumb,
he may need a ride,
cause “his” ride just died,
now he only has his thumb.

Thank goodness for good Samaritans. .

Yeah, I contemplated riding it more, but the wheel was bent, so I had to carry it until I could get a ride.

Possibly a small hole. Very small. I think the tension may have been a bit too tight though, not sure.

LOL, very true.
I gave $250.00 for this bike. It was a steal. So it is already expensive….lol
But you are right. I am finding out already that it is a bit expensive to keep up.

I have found that to be true as well. When it comes to less expensive bicycles. Good Point.
