Do you have any real-world biking friends in Korea who give you the same kinds of feedback as you got in your youth? Is there a bike kitchen there?
um, not real world haha. Well, I know a few people. I did a short tour with some last fall. I'm gonna do a weekend tour with about 5 expats in May, but yea...L.A.weather is really tough to beat. I tell my girlfriend how pleasant and mild it is there all the time and she doesn't believe me. I also miss being able to go to any bike shop, just even to chat. There are bike shops here but I have to special order anything I want. I think if I just start riding more, I'll get back into the swing of it but my first benched winter really beat my cycling spirit down.
