The weather is getting warmer, and I've seen a lot more people out on motorcycles/bikes/scooters lately. It seems like there's a good mix of people who wear helmets vs those who don't*, so I wanted to see what sort of results I'd get if I polled in it.
Feel free to discuss the reasons for your answer if you want in the tags/replies. Reblogs are helpful for getting more answers, but no sweat if you'd rather not.
Taking in the golden hours on two wheels (of course.) The bikes get some aster flower crowns because ‘tis the season! (The flowers come from my garden of course.)
It won’t be long til these summer bikes are retired for the year, and then hopefully there will be plenty of snow to romp in on the winter bike.
Good news! Test results came back, & nothing there is too out of the ordinary. She's getting Hydrated™ and fed right now, so I'll pick her up later. (She has hypothermia/low body temp)
Apparently all the various health problems she's been having lately are consistent with elderly senior cats - her teeth aren't consistent with that but it could still be that she's secretly an old lady in actuality and not just spirit.
Made the mistake of cycling to and from work today. A rundown:
Morning. Rain started as I left the house. Stopped when I got to work. It was so cold that the areas of my bald palate exposed by the helmet only registered continuous pain like a toddler's tantrum.
Afternoon. Sunshine and gale force winds. I had the hand of god pushing back against me the entire cycle back (I swear I heard lolling on the wind). I'm used to a fairly tough setting on the exercise bike and do so for 40mins. I barely survived 15 minutes with the added wind challenge.
It does remind me of Rocky 4 though. When they're training for the match in Russia, Drago is using the latest gym equipment while Rocky is running up mountains. Having experienced the challenge rating given by nature, I understand how Rocky won.
