I went out for a short ride after work today and felt that I was doing so much better than before. I’ve not made rapid progress as it’s hard to find the practise time but tonight everything was that little bit smoother than before. I only realised that my style was probably much better because I was much more relaxed. How did I realise I was more relaxed? Simple; I farted:o Up until now I’ve been pedalling around so tensed up that this would probably have been impossible (and the beans I had for lunch probably helped).
So has anyone else come across any other unusual measure of progress? The ability to eat spaghetti whilst gliding, scratch your arse whilst one foot idling, anything?
Real progress you ask? A real measure of progress is riding 5 hours without a dismount. Not a big deal right? How about the fact that I peed at about the 4 hour mark and realized the goal. Anal? -Maybe. Goal oriented? -Yes. A real and unusual measure of progress? - Absolutely!
hmmmmmmm, well the only thing i can think of is im pretty good at lifting myself off the seat now when my inbetweenthingies start to get sore. wheras before i was not, and that sucked…
Sometime round about 1985. Take a vaccum cleaner that can also blow, one large sheet of plywood with a “skirt” (wooden battens or cloth will do). Cut a hole in the wood to take the nozzle. Put vacuum cleaner on board, plug in, turn on and voila! One floating vacuum cleaner!
Hey, it was a long wet summer, and the idea of building a hovercraft seemed like a good one. This was our “proof of concept” model, we never got to the stage of building the one with the moped engine and extractor fan.
