Happy 19th birthday to my bicycle.

Happy 19th birthday to my bicycle. I take absolutely no care of you. I leave you out in the rain. I ram you through snow and mud and up and down kerbs. I make you drag stuff too heavy for you. I rarely remember to feed you with oil and air. I fling you onto trains and into hedges and into any space you fit, or don’t. And yet you always work, cost little to maintain and nothing to run. And you give me easy exercise. And I will never be too old not to think Wheeee! as I freewheel you downhill.
