  1. I have now become a Haiku author. This represents an exciting new stage in my life.

    ;*)

    Grease permeates skin. Blue handled tools. Red blood wells. My bike will not shift.

    One quarter turn. Clockwise or anti-clockwise? Where did I start?

    Slow rot, over time Entropy does not sleep, ever. Always grease threads.

    Racing tomorrow. Late night tuning session. Television snow.

    Well maybe not all of it - mine would be more like "raining tomorrow". Still the right number of
    syllables, though. :-)

    Flying through the air, Bereft of bicycle, note: "Need to adjust brakes!"

    Where is that hex wrench? I've got five, seven, and eight; all I need is six.

    If mountain biking Is the one true path, why are my wheels so untrue?

    My bike is silent. It glides in pure perfection. Wait... where is my chain?

    The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give
    an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.
