Yet another...Cruiser bike... Under coffee With yarn bombed bike Horizon, Summers Bealtaine 2022 Aus12/10/2022 As I sit among my yarn stash in the Den, with my giant black mug of black or dirty coffee that I like to scry in, with the caffeinated warming scent fogging the cozy spot, the knock on the door sounds from the delivery man. A big box is pushed into my office full of creative possibility's and a new spark of enthusiasm for tending to my health and fitness. My Mountain to Climb...What a tough couple of years we have had globally, and it seems the degree of degradation of societal norms is beyond prior imagination. However it is felt that more extra for disabled folk such as myself, who also happens to be with zero social of familiar support. I'm one of those that survived something that most don't physically yet alone spiritually, but at a cost to my health permanently and the fact that I don't look the stereotype of what someone thinks disabled is a bit of an extra discriminatory burden. On a bad day the pain and discomfort runs away from my management to akin of crowbars ripping hip sockets and the neck apart and the neurological would have to be the toughest day on day... I'm usually good with my management but the shenanigans of what I have had to put up with landlords and their buddy agents renting out what seems to be yet another slum with rain pouring inside, mold and so many things to much to mention has meant the loss of shelving and now even my bed/mattress damaged from black rising damp/mold has meant the past 2-3 months me sleeping on the couch. Ouch this has not helped but I wont take any pain meds for it (I don't do drugs of any time including alcohol or prescription etc). I do also need that mid afternoon nap or lay down to trigger point hip joints and neck in my pain management which I usually do on the bed so I can recover or nap for 10 minutes after. I'm now waiting on a new bed but the underlying cause and issue to why I need to is still there. The agents and landlords know things are tough for the renters market to find property's so they literally are just ignoring the OHS issues like mine and are getting away with it. I'm just biding my time now and trying desperately not to get to disheartened esp re my dreams and plans. I am paying low rent compared to whats around and I will keep pushing forward. I think a big part of the demoralization of such soulless beings to others is that it is in big part to destroy especially decent or wholesome individuals. The destruction of happiness and freedoms is a food source to the mediocre and parasitical/soul-less people out there and they are thus by choice. You just cant give in and let them take you over with the darkness of despair, it is what they want... Maybe the silver lining in this is to keep me from getting too comfortable, in a place being mapped and drawn out fast to be part of the smart prison here in Ballarat Victoria and all the dystopian 2030, reset agendas its embracing courtesy of council and the people just allowing it. The cost to the environment crushes the soul, there's nothing green or natural about any of this... I moved late October last year here, to be in regional Victoria and to be in proximity to my dream of only having sheep or cows and grass as neighbors as I work on a herbal and seed business as I finally finish the Horticulture certs I'm doing online, finally implementing in full all my sacrifices of time and money into the studies of permaculture, land management and botanical sciences in this third quarter of my life. I finish paying for my Horticulture college in June which I've done in installments with a student loan which will then free me up to get a vehicle and license so I can get to a spot where its at least an hours drive to anywhere and ideally sheep country. I can be without any human interaction or socialites for even a year and I'm fine as long as I'm in nature which is probably why in my late years m like the moth to flame in the scenario of being a witch and druid alone in the woods or the bush as it will be out here. I hear many, say how they want the same thing, but the reality is that they cannot even stop using a smart phone yet alone the need for a constant virtue signal among peers for validity... These things are polar opposite to nature and the soul space of being with nature that one requires for survival... The natural world disdains the mediocore and the unnatural ways that humanity seem to be fully embracing to fill the void of their soul-gaps... Enough with the Mountain, now the Horizon...Now I need to find where I put my wrench to finish putting this bike together secure for the handlebars but not having any nearby station with pressurized air pumping for bikes I should invest with a better bike pump than what I've got. I took Breezy (Yes I'm a dork that names everything) out for a sin as is and noted just how bad my hip joints were and unstable I was after such a big break from riding. I'm definitely going to get a trainer to hitch up the back wheel so I can cycle in doors. This will also be ultimate for the classical windy days we get down here and for when we are in deluge which is at least 80% of the year. I then can get back a set-point slowly before hitting the road. Defiantly points worth considering for those starting to get on or are returning to getting back on a bike. Personally I think there's much to be said about using ones muscles to push the bike on opposed to those frightful and loud electric things people are getting on about down here... Eick! With cold winters, I cant think of anything better than popping on the bike inside the home to spin and warm up and with the was energy prices are being deliberately increased it just may be the only way some of us can get the blood or circulation and warmth going outside of a hot shower. So right now my list is;
The Joyful touchesFor crafters such as myself an opportunity to embellish and bomb with embellishment new toys is almost to much to refuse, be it my roller skates (which have been sitting away due to the constant wet weather we are having even in summer down here) a bike or even any other structure put together. So what can one do for a bike to craft sign it?
Baskets, Saddles and pouchesThe joy of making ones own basket is that one can outfit or seasonal match but I couldn't help adding a vintage crochet back pack pattern here, which would easily be modified to fit as a front basket or basket/envelope... Wheels and ChairsNothing adds more color than yarn bombing the wheels, rims and or mudguards, but I must say I'm a fan of the red bike full of black granny squares shown previous... Frame to HandlesFrom covering a frame ding with granny squares to sewing warmers onto the handlebars, the options are endless. I really like the cable slip being sewn onto the back rack of the bike... Oufitting...The bicycle was a woman's best friend at one point and I cant help but crush on the richly textured fabrics of my folk with full skirts and billowy sleeves to the bright vibrant crochet garments of the retro 70s. The bicycle shirt or pullover is a piece of art in itself to me that adds a fancy to my obsession and comfort in wearing a turtleneck. I also think a cape with hood big enough to cover ones helmet or big Edwardian hairdo is also called for. The granny square crop vest is also perfect for extra warmth whilst keeping billowy undergarments nestled up to the skin. How about the blue crochet summer dress and white boots? I just love that, perfect for my pike with crop shorts underneath... Freyas gift, In ClosingIn 2014 I moved from suburb to outer suburb and from granny flat to old big house and upon my journey I actually was gifted a beautiful white cruiser bike by mother Freya with the guidance of a star she sent me at an uncertain time... I had come home with the bike to see the words splashed across the frame 'Southern Star' and I will never part with white cruiser. It was almost a giveaway and served its purpose but it doesn't have gears which makes even slight hills a little tough but it now sits in the shed. I may even use some parts or just fully yarn bomb the cruiser in honoring of mother Freya... There seems to be a theme going now I have moved from outer suburbs to regional I have accrued another cruiser... I'm looking forward to meeting more horizons and have had a full eventful journey thus far... Anyway, thank-you for keeping up with me on my journey There's more coming on the horizon, Stay tuned...
