Picture of the Day no 283 "When two Interests meet"

I won't go so far as to say that I've started cycling—not in the sense that I mean by cycling, anyway. But I've started commuting to work again, and I do it by velocipede. This is made easier by the fact that the car currently won't move due to a broken brake. It takes a while to fix it like this during tire change times when all the workshops are busy.

In addition to commuting, I also cycle to my other training, knife throwing. On my back, I carry a fairly heavy backpack where I keep at least four sets of knives. The heaviest ones weigh 480 g each, times three. In total, there is a bit of scrap metal in the backpack. In addition, there is water, coffee, a staple gun, a couple of decks of cards, a first aid kit, or rather, a roll of electrical tape.

To make it even harder, I ride with SPD pedals but with regular shoes in this case. Then my brain insists on not taking either the easiest or shortest route to my throwing spot. Instead, I find myself on some small path I almost forgot about. I think it's time to explore that side a little more properly again. In the absence of the right equipment, it's a bit awkward.

"When two Interests meet"

But with that in mind, you can understand why the round shapes are repeated in this picture. The bicycle wheels and the targets. The latter are in dire need of replacement, by the way. The one you see on the stand is cracked in the middle and has a big hole in the middle, and everything except the edges is pretty spongy at this point. That's my left target,t, and it's mostly used for axes these days. But like I said, it's time for retirement.

New ones are in the works thanks to sponsorship from "The Svenssons Brothers". Also known as my brother-in-law and his brother. They have access to both the right equipment, read "chainsaws" and materials, read "working at a sawmill".

The next training session with the knives will be tomorrow. Today will be some kind of rest. At least from that activity.
