pedal plenty

notes on a north american cycle trip in 2008

Crying over you

I’ve been crying over you
crying over you
When you said So long
and left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying

Laika the Red Cannondale

I’m a bit sad.

She left me last week.

Laika (tis my new name for the Red bike).

She’s gone.

To hang out with those boys

And girls

In The Best Bicycle Repair shop in Scotland.

She’s not phoned.

Or emailed.

Or anything.

Those boys

And girls will be

Touching her tranmission.

And handling her handlebars.

Don’t hurt her.

Please.

And let her

Come home soon.

Unmolested.

With all her

New bits

And pieces.

    […] today Haggis (not the pudding but the bike) came home. She’d been at the bike shop and she is now Haggis […]

    The angle of this pic makes it look as though she is rolling down the stairs!
