You Want a Cycle - But YOU ARE ILL ???
I had a message honestly just asked me question why i want a cycle?
With correct gears it will be easier than walking longer distances and save bus fare, i replied.
Then they said BUT YOU are ill. Riding must be out for you.
I said sometimes it would be less impact. (Yes I get fatigued, aches, etc as part of my illnesses)
They didnt understand that.
This because I repaired a bike from another bike that needed repairing too.
I took the best bits and put them together.
I have yet to test ride it.
Not sure chain and deraillers are set right yet.
Cant do that in a bathroom of a flat, can I.
Was that ableism? I dont know.
------------------------------------
Update: tested it in dusk (still need lights, but thats sorted soon) And happy. Apart from squeak on front brake, which i can live with for now. Arent V-brakes difficult to adjust huh?
