the long walk home

I bike to a doctor's appointment on 42nd and Second Avenue.
It's raining.

When I am done, I get on my bike and realize that because of the heavy rain, my brakes are not working at all.

So I walk the bike home.
I decide to make a day of it.

I will pause and sit and rest along the way.

It takes me eight hours.

 I get home at 10 o'clock.
