Popped out over lunch to pick up my new bike and ride it home, despite Environment Canada blaring simultaneous emergency alerts about heat, humidity, and air quality. (Those warnings are no joke, by the way: the uphill ride home was trivial, barely over a kilometer, but I was soaked in sweat, winded, and feeling slightly nauseated and pained in the back of my throat despite my N95.)

This is my first time owning two bikes in... I think ever, actually?

A Brompton T line sitting upright in kickstand mode (rear wheel triangle folded 180° under the main frame tube, pivoting around a point just below and under the bottom pedal bracket) with the seatpost extended up and a black messenger bag clipped to the front luggage block, outside in an apartment building courtyard out of direct sunlight, in front of a stone planter bed with some dark green fronds overflowing the edges.

@chrisphin thank you!! Still doesn't feel completely real because I haven't yet gone out on any long rides - timing challenges - but I'll be fixing that this week.
