Sinister: Girl on a bicycle

[susannah]

      *---*      HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES    *---*

Yes,
      I have decided to purchase a bike. I have decided that the time I fell off
the tramps bike after the picnic and banged my head was just a blip in my
cycling career. Anyhow I demonstrated my roadworthiness to everyone after the
Salako
thing by taking my turn to cycle to the end of the road and back on this bicycle
someone had left for our entertainment.
 I managed not to put my feet on the ground, and was timed by steady Mike's
stopwatch, coming
in at an impressive 1 minute 5 seconds. I was  beaten into second place only by
Trousers because of his mean, streamlined aerodynamic shirt. Which you
unfortunately can't see his nipples in, although it is rather tight. Like a
psychadelic Tour de France yellow jersey. Only not yellow. 

Anyway I have bought a bicycle because people fancy you more on a bike. No, they
do! It gives you a certain something, makes you look sort of bookish and
interesting, a cycling free-spirit.
I found this contraption in Loot for £20, so anticipating a bargain as usual, I
bought it. Only the chain came off on my way back, half way down Stoke Newington
high street and sent me carreeing into a lady with a pram on a zebra crossing.
But I survived. The mother and baby however are receiving vital lifesaving
surgery at Guy's. No, but I am telling the truth about the chain, actually the
gears don't work either. It's a heap of shit, but at least it won't get nicked.
But my dilemma is whether to helmet, or not to helmet. 
 See, I have this idea that a helmet makes you look like a spoon, but I reckon
if you go the whole hog and wear a smog mask too you look like a cool urban
warrior type and can then pull at 'Reclaim the Streets!' and save trees too. 


Bike to the future!


Susannah.
