Bicycle

It occurred to me the other day that I've been riding a bicycle for over 50 years now. I've never not used my bicycle for getting around. (I didn't buy my first car until I was 40.) It's always been a natural thing to get on my bike to go to work, run errands or just enjoy the outdoors.

This particular bike has been with me for over 20 years. I bought it in Toronto in the 1980s. Occasionally I've thought of trading it in but all it needs is a tune-up every two or three years and it just keeps going and going.
