I probably get more enjoyment than ever from the UTE, and like the new SERVICE bicycle category.
I ride pretty much year round, stopped only by deep snow.
Bike trails only, no roads.
And you?
I can say much the same... (except that I stopped riding when I got my driver's license at 16, I always wear a helmet and I average 10 or 11mph)... But the essence is the same....
I ride as fast and as far as I want. And, I stop when I want...
I feel no reason or pressure to push myself faster, further or harder... I like to ride for the many benefits of the aerobic exercise -- but I do my best to be sure that I am enjoying it as well.
