St. Patrick’s Day, 2024: First Bike Ride

A bit breezy and cold (6C), but sunny streets are dry enough to justify pumping up the tires.

Full circle. Riding the bike at 74 always takes me back to my Wallasey St., Winnipeg youth, after I got my old Eaton’s 3 speed glider in the summer of 1958. Went everywhere with that, delivering Tribune newspapers after school on my Wallasey-Thompson route, riding out to East Selkirk one weekend, to the old Winnipeg Arena on a school hr., to Assiniboine Park, and back to when I briefly did drugstore deliveries on snow-covered Portage Ave. in the winter.
