Pedal Power

Pedal Power I was resigned to hours of hell when I reluctantly agreed to allowing Eloise to bike to the brook today at about 3.30 with 2 hours of light left in the day, after all she normally makes it about a quarter of the way there before abandoning her transportation.

But today, not only did she make it all the way to the brook, but she did so at reasonably high speed, requiring only intermittent assistance. And my resignation did add to my patience.

Her speed was due to her having discovered the brakes on her bike and the fact that they work so much better when travelling quickly.

It would be a lie to suggest that it was an unbridledly joyful experience, but it was so much more pleasurable than it might have been.

And we were home only shortly after dark too.
