It bothers me that I had to take the train to town on Friday because I didn’t trust my cycling ability. So today I cycled to the recycling centre in Bromma just to see how it felt. (And to recycle two pairs of outgrown, broken children’s shoes.)

Cycling didn’t cause my back any problems at all, which was a relief.

I still haven’t gotten used to the weather being so warm. It’s February, which should be deepest winter, but outside it’s around 10°C.

Wise from past experience, I wore the thinnest three layers I own. Which was a very good thing, because of course I got hot and had to start shedding layers after a while.

Also I remembered both to take my sunglasses and to pump my tires before leaving, both of which I have forgotten in the past, so I really enjoyed my trip.
