Autumn is finally upon us, just days before its scheduled calendar end, but that doesn’t mean it’s still not ideal for a fall.
And taking that literally, I decided to head out for a ride on the Death Machine, the nickname I give to my recumbent bicycle for its propensity to make cycling strenuous and dropping a doddle.
I woke well before dawn, but my bravado withered with memories of riding in the dark, which is harder on the recumbent where you’re laying down and vision is always harder, even in the best of conditions.
So, I waited until almost sunrise before starting, and was rewarded with delightfully blue skies typical of Tokyo autumn and an awesome ride along the Tama River in spite of the chilly wind sending a reminder that winter is only a week away.
And I didn’t fall off the bike (but the bike did topple a few times while I was trying to take a decent photo).
