This afternoon was so beautiful that I hopped on the bike and did a 14-mile ride! It was wonderful after not riding for a few weeks. Apparently, those weeks of not draining the bike’s battery has taken a toll on it. The level went down much faster than usual which means I may be purchasing a new battery very soon.

I don’t know what they cost but I’m sure it will be at least two hundred bucks. The bike went into service very late in 2021 and the bike has almost 1800 miles now. I stopped in front of a bus depot for the photos, a full-service bus depot with a building and employees.

The busses run on natural gas so I assume the busses are being refilled there too. Our state flag says Battle Born on it, this link will tell you about that!
