why i ride

yeah, biker as in bicycle not motorcycle. why do i ride, well, lots of reasons, but the biggest is freedom! i mean the kind of freedom you had as a kid the first day of summer. as you get older, that feeling gets harder to achieve. life has a way of weighing down on you, but my bike makes it easy. are you one of those people, like me, whose mind runs 90 miles an hour, all the time. well, not on the bike, cause if you're not paying attention, you'll be off that bike in a second and it might be just a bit painful! i have the scars to prove it, but that's a topic for a later posting.

cycling is also a great way to meet friends. because you're out having fun, most people are in a good mood and friendly. you meet all kinds (really ALL kinds) of people and i love that! you hear their stories and perspectives and that is the coolest wether i agree or not. so, if you're looking for that something that will give you some exercise, is fun and will help you put all the "crap" of life behind you, think about this. and i didn't look like that when i started so, you don't have to be in shape when you start either.
