The bike’s name is Willow (I didn’t give her that name; she already had that name, and I like it). As I wanted, it has an internal gear hub.

My bike crapped out on me! Heavy Sigh! I heard a cracking sound as I approached an incline during a morning ride. Immediately after the sound, my seat started swiveling. Naturally, I had to stop to see what was going on. I hopped off the bike to find my seat, freely performing 360 ° […]

It’s not because I’m anti-gym; it’s because there are so many things and projects that keep me busy and give me a proper workout.
