Orbiting the Earth

Bicycles on campus at Recycled Cycles store

I saw this row of bicycle tires while waiting for the bus at the CSU Transit Center this past week. I found it interesting so I knelt down and took a couple of images. They were commuter bikes the students can easily afford because they are stripped down with one gear and one brake in the rear. They were white bicycles and white rims. Gotta get the shot.

I now find that getting back up after squatting is more of a struggle than 10 years ago. It take me longer to get back up and I’m noticing a strange sound emanating from the left knee. Right now I’m just ignoring it. I’m suspecting it to be due to aging, getting older, passing of time or gas or I’ve done it way too many times.

Retired. Having fun shooting Fujifilm cameras. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku. Have a love for fountain pens.

    Monte, those white bicycle rims remind me of the old white sidewall bicycle and car tires that were “the style” at one time. Thus far no strange knee sounds while getting up but it’s definitely more of a challenge than it use to be and on occasion may be accompanied by a verbal grunt. Have a great weekend my friend. 🙂
