I've been dropping the odd, tantalizing hint about a writing project that I've been dancing around with for awhile. Remember the one, where I said this might be on the cover?
I just posted the first few chapters on Wattpad, which is a Canadian website for writing of all kinds, but especially for YA and teen stuff. I'm hoping to pick up a few comments and maybe a little momentum. If you have time and any interest I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. Here's the link:
February in my part of the world means that subtle hints of the season to come are arriving. I made it home from work in the daylight, or pretty close to it, yesterday.
Every day, when I pull into our garage at home I have to be careful not to bump into the bicycles that mark the end of my parking spot. I have three vintage English bikes here, a 1968 women's Raleigh, a 1973 women's BSA and an unnamed brand with a barely intact decal featuring Welsh feathers. When my headlights shone on them last night I thought, well, soon...
I saw this fun product video on the Facebook feed of the Slow Bicycle Group that I follow there. It hit me right in my antique-y sweet spot, so I'm sharing.
I wanted to order one for myself though I'll admit I was put off by the fact that it comes in a flat pack and has to be assembled. "Assembly required" is not in my skill set.
While I was looking at the Trotify website, I came across another great little UK cycling video so here's that for you too.
I always give cyclists as much room as I can manage and I appreciate it when cars do the same for me when I am out on my slow bike rides.
Stay warm. Enjoy those February sunsets. Get your bikes into the shop for that Spring tune up...
