我車活者!

Regular Etchy blog readers may have noticed that its been quite a while since I went biking... or at least since I put up a blog about biking.  Its because I haven't been going!  Between my parents visiting in November and then Legend FC promotion and the holidays,  I went a good two and a half months without a single ride.

For those who aren't familiar,  I actually bought a bike three and a half years ago when I was living in the New Territories (countryside part of HK), but a year later I moved closer to downtown and ever since my bike has been a 'ronin bike' (浪人單車)... on weekends I ride it from one place to another then lock it up somewhere and come back another time to ride it somewhere else.

Which means a two and a half months of no biking = two and a half months of leaving my bike unattended locked to a railing somewhere on the opposite side of the territory.    After a few weeks you begin to wonder if its still there (or all still in one piece).  After a month or two you're like "ok, it must have been either stolen, stripped or impounded!"... needless to say when I finally found some time to go get it, I was 90% expecting to not find it -

But I was wrong! :-P

All in one piece... just covered in about an inch of dust...    This is actually in Tuen Mun (a place most of you have never been before, even if you've lived in HK for a long long time).

I moved it to a legal bike parking spot (since I didn't know when I would actually be able to come back).  I was lucky enough to manage to come back the week after (after 2manyDJs) for some night riding.
