It's funny to me. I'm pleasure and fitness cyclist. My vintage bikes get regular use, but I like to increase the number of cogs and chainrings when I restore a bike.

When I ride my bike I feel free and happy and strong. I'm liberated from the usual nonsense of day to day life. Solid, dependable, silent, my bike is my horse, my fighter jet, my island, my friend. Together we will conquer that hill and thereafter the world.
