I had intended this to be a two or three part series, but as the characters developed, it seemed best to let the other two episodes take place in your minds. As written this story is foreplay for your mind. It is a story that will warm you up and usher you through the door. But from that point on, it is up to your imagination.

It all started with a clicking in her left pedal. Bea didn't pay a whole lot of attention to it. She often rode unpaved trails and her bicycle picked up a lot of dirt and dust. When she got home, she made sure the bike was thoroughly cleaned and used some spray silicone lube on the left pedal.
That worked for a while, but the click returned, and soon she found that she was having to use the spray before each ride. And despite that, the clicking was getting louder. She could even feel it in her foot if she was pushing hard on an uphill.
I really should stop at the bike shop and have them look at that
, she kept telling herself. But she continued to put it off and put it off. Then the click became a continuous high-pitched squeal. It was somewhat annoying, but with regular squirts of the silicone lube, it no longer seemed to be creating drag on her pedaling, so she continued to put off getting it fixed. Now she was sitting in the grass alongside Milk Run Trail slowly moving her arms and legs to make sure that she wasn't badly injured.
Having a bicycle pedal snap off at speed can be catastrophic. Luckily, her rear end was above the seat so that she slammed into that rather than the frame, but she was still bruised between the legs. Somehow she bounced her foot off the ground and retained some-but not total-control of the bike. Wobbling badly, she was able to brake and get into the grass, but that was it. When her wheels began to slip on the damp grass, she instinctively tried to press her feet down on the pedals to steady herself, but with one gone, her actions merely caused her to finally tumble.
Once she had assured herself that she was not significantly injured, she stood up and examined the damage to her bike. Except for the missing pedal, it appeared to be OK, but without the pedal, she wouldn't be able to ride it.
She looked both ways up the path. She was approximately in the middle of what was called "the long loop" of the path. The long loop went through farm fields and a forest area and, except for a couple of trails that evidently led up to houses, there were no exits. In one direction it was about seven miles to the highway. In the other direction, it was about nine miles into town and the main entrance to the trail. Since she didn't know which, if any, of the smaller trails actually led anywhere, those were her only options.
She pulled her phone out of her side pack and opened it to make a call, but then stopped. Who would she call? It wasn't exactly like she could call AAA and request a tow truck out on the trail. She checked the clock on her phone and saw that it was just past 8:00 pm. No one else would be starting out on the path this late. She was on her own.
She again looked both ways down the path trying to decide which option would be best. Finally, she shrugged her shoulders and said aloud to herself, "Either way, I am going to be walking in the dark." Her choice was made. She starting walking her bike toward town.
The bike path she was walking down was called "The Milk Run." Like many bike paths throughout the country, it followed what was once a railroad track. At one time there was an electric train that would slowly make the 32-mile loop from the local dairy to the farms west of town and back. The train stopped running "just before the war"- meaning early 1940- when they graveled the roads and milk trucks were able to reliably get to the farms.
Since the tracks were owned by the dairy, they sat idle until the late 1970s when the dairy went out of business. The town bought the old dairy and turned the land into a park. The tracks were removed and the right-of-way turned into a jogging / biking trail. Several shops, including a restaurant, an ice cream shop, and, of course, a bike shop, sprang up alongside the park.
The Milk Run was Bea's favorite bicycle path primarily because it was so long and so isolated. Many people rode for exercise or to fit in with their friends. She rode for the solitude. She often had the ear pods of a music player stuck firmly in her ears as she rode, but the unit was never turned on. Instead, she was listening to- and watching- various erotic fantasies play out in her mind as her legs pumped automatically on the pedals.
Her erotic fantasies were the reason that she was on The Milk Run tonight. Her late evening rides were when those fantasies often became more than just in her mind. There was a small rest stop for bicyclists about a mile past where her pedal broke. More than once, she had ridden to that small oasis just before dark and then walked her bicycle onto the small path that led out behind the shelter. After hiding the bike- and her clothing- in the bushes, she would return to the table and lay upon it masturbating with one of her favorite dildos. There was a motion-controlled light in the shelter, but she had learned that there was a switch for it on one of the back posts, high on the outside nearly at the roof where it was not visible from the bike path.
She often imagined herself tied to the table, being ravished by pirates or convicts or gangs of unbelievably handsome outlaws. Only once had she even come close to being caught. She was lying on the table in the darkness when a lone bike went past on the trail. Whoever it was probably lived somewhere on the path and was riding home. They had a small headlight aimed at the path and evidently did not see her on the table in the darkness.
The thought of tonight's missed rendevous brought a wry smile to her face... and a yearning between her legs. She was tempted to complete her fantasy here in the middle of the trail, but her soreness from the fall had broken the mood. Besides, she had a long walk ahead of her. As she walked slowly toward town, she tried to turn on the headlight and taillight, but neither was working.
Oh, well
, she thought,
at least I'm visible to anyone with a headlight.
