Clearing out my den today and found one of Hebe Jr's reading books from primary school (she's 14 now....) so took the opportunity for a tiny ride to drop it back. 5.21km in the sun there and back. Some grumbling in the gear changes so I think a tiny chain clean and lube might be in order too.

My tiny ride was to drop something off to Ms AU's office, return library books and then collect a prescription. Somewhere in that I managed to buy some used butterfly handlebars. About 3 miles in total.

You *must* tell us where you managed to buy them!

In our excellent local bicycle recycling shop " On Your Bike". I love rummaging through the boxes of bits.

If you fancy starting your own in Devon this summer I have quite a few bits to contribute.

Great, isn't it? All my rides this year will go here; I'm unlikely to surpass 'tiny' for some time after this surgery.

A tiny joke. Chap walks into a bar and orders a pint. He has a minute newt on his shoulder. Barman says, "That's unusual. What's its name?" Chap replies, "Tiny." Barman says, "Why call it Tiny?" Chap says, "Cos he's my newt. I can call him what I like."
Hope this is tiny enough for this thread. Might even raise a tiny laugh.

Seven miles, cold start but a pleasure to be out. First ride for almost a week, lovely and quiet on the Sunday morning roads. Nowhere special, up this street and down the next one.

Six miles, maybe. Took the car for a service, had my Carrerra folding bike in the back. Frosty ride back home and then a slightly warmer return journey when the car was ready.

Ah yes, the mile-long walk to get to the bike.
I'm hoping to get a tiny ride in on Thursday or Friday. It's only been a few days and I'm missing them already.
Hurrah! Lovely to have you here 😀
"tiny" is always relative to not riding at all, and I expect that your "tiny" rides will be a huge step in your recovery journey.
Made me laugh!
Lovely use of a folding bike!
Sometimes it feels like 5 miles from the sofa to the garage (it's really not 😂).

I ventured to the co-op and fruit shop on a tiny ride at lunchtime. It used to be a regular thing but recently I keep finding excuses to walk instead of ride. Which is silly as riding is much quicker and the Sheffield racks outside the shop were put there at my request.
