I would love to start a club. To start with, I just need one person. I’m sure when word gets around—in 15 years or so—that Velopen & Co. ride each week, our little club would start seeing new additions, then drop-offs, followed by complaints from parents of adult children, then more additions. One of my faithful bike buddies chuckled when I asked her to go for a ride Sunday afternoon. She replied how funny it was when at the mention of the word “ride”, she and her sister would drop everything just to come with me, and now it just doesn’t stir their bones at all.
So I’m composing this Form with the hope that my whole 1 reader (whoever he/she is) may be nudged to join me in pedaling the great outdoors on nice Sunday afternoons. (The statistics say 2 readers, but I don’t think GoogleBot counts in this instance.)
Fill out the following, choosing the most appropriate word or expression.
Hi Velopen
1. I, ___(your name here)___ , am ___________ joining your club.
(a) excited about
(b) interested in
(c) fortunate to be
2. Yes, I am __________ on Sunday afternoons for a refreshing ride.
(a) available
(b) free
(c) divorced
3. I have a __________ bicycle.
(a) useful
(b) red
(c) well-maintained and properly-working
4. And also a ___________ which I promise to wear at all times.
(a) helmet
(b) basket
(c) Pekingese dog
5. Yes, I understand that we will be riding on _________.
(a) and on and on…
(b) the rims
(c) the road
6. I’m comfortable with the terrain and _________ the club’s first ride!
(a) look forward to
(b) insist on
(c) will carry out
7. If it’s fine with you, may I bring _________?
(a) money
(b) a friend or two
(c) a bike
There, I think these seven questions are enough for new recruits and they pretty much cover all the bases. If you think I’ve left anything out, I’ll be happy to fit it in and re-post.
So! Looking forward to a new club on around the block...just like this one!
