まだ精進が足りません。quick on the draw there mike
Just out of interest, Andy, how did you translate it if you don't read kanji?
Incidentally what's also wierd is that while riding a bike with 2 kids is ostensibly against 'the rules' - some prefectures are giving out a special bike allowance for parents who have a second child - just so they can purchase a bike to carry 2 kids!! WTF!?
7 Incorrect adjustment of braking equipment
Today, I passed a woman in her 60`s and she was pedalling from top to bottom (12 o`clock to 6 o`clock) then when she got to the bottom of the stroke pedalling in reverse and lifting her foot/leg that did the work back up to the top and repeating???
Answers on a postcard please...
I would guess a stroke victim with paralysis down one side. Good on her for being mobile.
Believe it or not I worked at Bridgestone with a guy who had an artificial leg and he rode to and from work quite well with his fake leg sticking out straight. I think he gave it a good hefty push down and then hooked it back up with his toe and gave it another push. It was inelegant but faster than walking and Ageo is a flat city so he was good, head winds must have really been hard work.Well yes, if that is the reason then kudos to her for keeping riding. But...
I`ve been trying cycling with just one leg to try and come up with a reason for her style of riding and without clipless pedals, I found it (might be my error or my mama chariot!) impossible to cycle purely with one leg. You still need assistance from the other leg to get the pedal back up past the horizontal. I also found cycling in the way she did to be more painful than normal cycling even with using the other leg for no more than in effect, ballast.
My best guess is limited knee movement...but then, my stepfather had a botched knee replacement operation and he finds it impossible to cycle full-stop so if she can manage the knee movement she does, then only needs to get a mechanic to put in short cranks and then that wouldn`t cause any more knee extension when pedalling in circles. So, still...
She probably saw you on your mega-bike and thought rhe would do something odd to confound you, on the off chance that you make her into some kind of internet meme.
looked like a fat white bloke in drag, by any chance?
