My mojo has been gone for a year or more, due to no commuting, little time or energy left after all day parenting and just getting older and shit.
I also got my fixed bike nicked last autumn by being a dozy twat, leaving me with an uninspiring utility bike for carrying kids around and a lean mean carbon fibre machine that never got a look in. No fun bike for doing errands or little rides. Bah. Welcome to Mojo Zero.
But, I recently decided to give up drinking alcohol and have been using it as a springboard to get back into riding a bike. I bought a 2016 charge Plug (in beautiful bright pink) for just shy of £300. 'That's less than two month's booze...' thought I.
Took it out for my first ride last night and I think my mojo is rearing up and getting ready to roar. The bike fit me beautifully and was just loads of fun to ride. I need to shove a fixed sprocket on it at some point, but for now I'm riding not fettling.
