You're my freethinking

companion

on our bicycle

made for two,

 

with zeal you oil breaks

and chains

while I read

manual,

 

attraction came

so easy

you lubricate

my life,

 

every trickle

loosens heart strings

we always

work out right.

 

Our confidence

is childlike

peddling

so fast,

 

tumbledown trails

descending

shadows

in our tracks,

 

legs showing blue

cotton shorts,

seeking adventure

those dreamy sorts,

 

view distant hills

space in between,

sensory breathtaking

romantic scene,

 

Blustery gales

left far behind

now gives a

clear mind,

 

on coastal bluff

we comprehend,

our destination is

Lands End.

I had never ridden a bike, due, I think to complications of where we were living at the relevant time of youth, but my husband got a tandem (not many years ago) and I remember realising that he who oiled the brakes etc had far more strength and experience and I wasn't 'pulling my weight' - at first my feet on the pedals seemed to being pushed around! and it felt like being on a roller coaster as I couldn't see what was approaching! but being so close to the scenery was lovely.

Hi Rhiannon,

that's really interesting hearing that you've actually ridden a tandem. Have never been on one myself.  Good on you for having a go it sounds like hard work.

Thank you for reading and I enjoyed hearing your story.

Jenny.
