Well &#8211; for the second time, as we made the trek there and back yesterday, to see how it would go.  This is the first time in maybe ten years we&#8217;ve had bicycles, and we went for something much more rideable than our previous cycles. They&#8217;re low enough to the ground that even the shortest among us can cope, they have lots of gears for hill-climbing, yet still let us sit up straight, and cruise.<\/p>\n<div align=center clear=both><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/wishiwerebaking\/38024819541\/in\/datetaken\/\" title=\"Roll Bikes 1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4460\/38024819541_76a8423feb_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"421\" alt=\"Roll Bikes 1\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p class=Indent>The ride in to work takes about 10 minutes, just having a leisurely cycle.  These are designed so the rider sits upright rather than hunching over the handlebars.  They&#8217;re also designed to really keep on rolling, so you don&#8217;t have to pedal constantly to keep going anywhere.  They&#8217;re rather like the bicycles of childhood, and we&#8217;ll be enjoying taking them out on the weekends as well.<\/p>\n<p class=Indent>It&#8217;s time to go bake <a href='https:\/\/hobbitsabroad.com\/?p=2754'>cranberry orange bread\/cake<\/a> to take in to work tomorrow.
