I'm not a cyclist. But I'm going to ride cross-country. My friend recently asked me, "Well, what will you call yourself when you ride, then?" Hmm, an adventurer! I like to explore, and doing it via bicycle is my next big thing. In 2009, I hiked from Georgia to Maine. Shortly after, I realized that I can cover twice the distance in half the time. If that doesn't scream cool, then I don't know what does. So I bought a shiny blue Surly, my new ticket to freedom, and it's been uphill ever since.

Wagons and Bicycles
Just when I think I live in assholeville (as far as cycling conditions go), a 3 year old girl shouts at me from the blue wagon her dad is pulling her in. She excitedly shrieks, "HIIIIIIII BIIIIIIKE" as I fly by. Right back at ya, kid.
And that is total redemption for the 2 guys who screamed, "Get out of the road, asshole!"
It's not always bike friendly around here, however, there are moments that make my heart smile. Thank you, blue wagon-rider, for making my day.
Lol
