Today J was training for her 40k charity ride next Sunday. Training involves buying a newspaper, cycling to local pub/cafe and eating cake. We then cycle home - anything from 10 to 20k as the mood takes us.
Today, my recently charged battery, two and a half years of age, appears to have died. After half a mile the five lights on the handlebar indicator shrank to two, then one. attempting to ride without pedalling reduced the display to zero. I waved J on her way and headed for home. On the way, which was downhill with the wind behind me, the 5 lights shone again. I decided to call their bluff and turned again into the wind and up the hill. Lights out! 'Drat and trudget!' I cried and headed for home and the coffee pot. The same again - five bright little lights. The battery showed all 3 lights when removed from the bike.
Is there a spell to restore my old friend to health? It's on charge but I have little hope in my heart ...
