Okay this coming Monday I will have to work for a change. Alas all good things come to an end. The company is called Keppel Verolme a huge offshore and ship building company with a huge drydock.
But wait there is more. This Thursday I failed miserably with my driving exam. I almost killed two cyclists, they had it comming though. Stay the fuck away from the car. There were like 50 of them, so many. But it is no big deal, even if I had my license I still have no car. Will buy one in a week or three, but my next exam is in May 13th and a Friday for that matter. Fuck, that's more than a month away. Oh well, I bought a bicycle. Even if the fire me within a month, the bike would be a nice exercise.
Not really excited to work to be honest. It might be awesome, it might be horrible.One way to find out, usually the first few days are the most boring ones.
Okay round 3.
This time I used my sisters bike. This one is no folding bike, but an ordinary one. The seat height is too low for me, so I can't really stretch my leg fully when peddling. No gears what so ever and a much wider seat.
So after getting out of the subway, I went to my bike. The seat was wet because of the rain so I cleaned it with a tissue. So after cleaning it and unlocking it, it was time to go. So remember the bike route is around 13 km long, so one would think that below 30 minutes must be possible.
So with this new bike I again peddled for queen and country. But this bike with its bigger wheels and wider seat felt much more confortable. It did not feel like being gang raped by Leo and Steel, it felt like being raped by GG. Also known as the flacid one. Also I did not need to peddle as a lunatic on coke to get some speed. Still had trouble with the bridge and people gained on me there, but otherwise it was full speed ahead.
Everytime I stopped because the traffic lights I checked my mobile phone to see how long I've been driving. So after checking my phone at a traffic light and peddling for a bit and I heard a noise. It sounded like something fell off. So I stopped and checked my bike. And everything was there. So I went my merry way. After stopping at the next traffic lights I again tried to pick up my mobile phone, but it was not there. So than it hit me, that sound back there. Yeah that was my phone. I realized that no bike has passed me or was anywhere near me, so the chances that someone run over my phone were slim.
So there I was going back again looking for my phone. Worst case scenario totally broken, but I can still retrieve the SIM card. So there it was, in three piece. Phone, battery and battery cover. After connecting all the parts and checking if it works (it did work) I was off again. I deceided that this will cost me 5 minutes, so again peddling like a bat out of hell. And after some kilometers I arrived. My time from begin bike to end = 50 minutes. Subtract 5 minutes and you have 45 minutes. Better than my folding rape bike. I think 40 minutes should be possible with this bike and under 30 minutes for a actual fast one.
The way back I made it in 40 minutes. Will try again tomorrow. As far as I am concerned they are paying me to ride a bike.
It took me one hour for 15 km. That is like jogging speed. Do you wear a helmet when jogging?
Can't you raise the seat? Just stand while you pedal!
Are you saying "peddling" instead of "pedalling" on purpose?
The meaning is about as different as that between console and council
I picture him peddling nude pics of himself in an alley.
It would have been funny to see Frodo go to the console of Elrond.
Only if he was a bike salesman and peddled all the way there.
