So every once in a while I forget to bring my cane when I go out on my bike.

I bought a cane to keep on my bike today. Now I won’t forget a cane when I’m going out for brunch or whatever and haven’t had my coffee yet.

It’s dark blue.

    I just hung mine back in the closet yesterday. And hopefully I won’t need it again for another 4 or 5 years.

      Congratulations! That’s a great feeling.

      When I was giving my dad the “you need a cane” talk, I realized most of the reasons applied to me too and so I went out and got a cane before he did. It gave me time to put “fancy looking canes” in the budget and I kind of like walking around with the squid handle one, you know?

        As much as I hate my cane and what it represents to me, I hate using crutches and walkers even more. I’ve had to use both of these over the last years also.

        I don’t strictly need something but I like having a staff. I have a dog and squatting to get the poop its so nice to have something to pull yourself up with.
