i don't really feel like i'm part of a "cycling community", but that's because i really don't feel a part of any "community". i've never been a joiner. i'm just one man who's completely, totally, hopelessly obsessed with bicycles.
when i have free time i'm riding one of my bicycles.
and when i'm not riding one of my bicycles, i working on one of them.
and when i'm not riding or working on my bicycles, i'm thinking about riding or working on my bicycles.
i don't believe in god, i only believe in bicycles.
does all of the above make me "different" from general american society? i suppose so, but fitting in has never been my strong suit. i look at what other people do and then try to do the opposite because that's just the way my spirit rolls. and bicycles also totally rule the universe. i'm just not capable of understanding why anyone would ever want to travel around in car when bicycling is billions of times more fun. i just don't get it. i suppose i never will get it. c'est la vie.
