Wow, I missed this news originally, but I'm very happy to read how far you've come and that you are back on the bike! Congratulations on all the healing.

It's unfortunate that there are always a few that take themselves a bit too seriously and know more than anyone else, no matter how serious the subject.
Good job getting back on the bike !
I am completely and utterly shocked pretty much every day at the number of people in this subforum who take themselves too seriously. Ugh, it is why I come around less and less. Isn't it odd how you can more or less tell from someone's posting "tone" if they are a good, decent, kind person or a total a-hole? I simply cannot believe the number of "adults" who post on the forum frequently and are cranky, bitter, self-loving/loathing idiots. I wish they'd go away and the cool, funny, kind people would stick around. There are so many people that post too often and their negative energy just turns the forum into high school, with the "cool" bullies making this an unfriendly and unhelpful place. Yeah, you ride more than me and you have a blog and you think you are god's gift to the world. I get it; you don't have to keep reminding me all the time. I try to block them out & putting them on my ignore list helps with that
It just amazes me that I could share something so wonderful (a love of cycling) and yet find enthusiasts in here that I feel like I share nothing with, because they are rude and think they know everything.
Anyway...there are also a TON of great people who have provided help, advice, and encouragement, and that is why I keep coming back!
Glad to hear you are doing well, Bigtea!
