Here’s my new conveyance:
She’s a Bottecchia touring bike made of aluminium, apparently one year old, sold to me by Fliston’s in Matagorda for 200 euro. They also gave her a service, and she felt pretty good on the ride up here. Assuming she doesn’t get pinched, she’ll see a fair bit of usage in the next few months, so I hope she’s up to it. Seems a pretty good bike to me.
It’s REALLY windy here at the moment, but once it calms down I’ll see about taking her further afield. I should be able to cover most of the island in theory.
I’m not sure exactly how I’ll fit her onto the boat when I move from here, but both the front and rear wheels have quick release, so I should be able to pack her up fairly small pretty easily.
Are bikes female? I don’t know. Perhaps she’s an it. Anyhow, I’m off to ride along the coast northwards, then tonight there’s a free music festival in town, if the stages don’t blow away. X
