buttony muddle-headed...

My husband’s workplace is just less than a kilometer away from home. Thus, it was practical for him to hop on a bike to get there. Fact one: it’s his frugal way to save and fact two: it’s faster that way than to have to wait for a PUV. Yes, definitely something faster for a laggard. :hide:

But there were a couple of setbacks considering that my husband can get a little scatty. :hide: And so it wasn’t a shock when one day he lost the entire security system of his precious bike. Err, I meant the chain and the padlock. Sure he can buy a new set but matters were made even worse. One day, he locked the bike to the office’s (door) gate. But since we had this emergency situation, I had to come and pick him up on the way and he went under time. The result was horrendous. While we were at home sleeping soundly, his boss had been checking the office even at wee hours in the morning. It turned out that the gate couldn’t be locked since the forgotten bike gets in the way. :hide:

So when I read about these foldable bikes, I thought it’s a worthwhile treat for him. Made especially with small wheels and fascinating latches and hinges, the bike can (miraculously!) collapse down to the size of a suitcase. They’re high function, an all the rage. This wouldn’t just make my husband “hip” but think about it this way. He needn’t worry about locking it because he could bring the entire bike with him even in the absence of storage space. He can always place it at the side of his work desk. Wehew!

But hey, what if he forgets how to fold and unfold the bike? What if he’d leave it somewhere? Oh well. Those are questions of the mind of someone whose money is nowhere near $200 to buy a collapsible for her husband. Tsk.
