Bicycle is free psychotherapy.
Well, not exactly free, but after the initial outlay for equipment...
....getting divorced at age 57, leaving my 13-year-old son behind, going from a big, comfortable two-story house to sharing a small condo with a neurotic roommate I found on Craigslist. At work, being micromanaged to death by managers who were in kindergarten when I started in the industry.
Bicycle doesn't care about any of that. Bicycle is always ready. I get on and ride, ride ride. As the miles pass by, all the toxins from my body and mind are swept away. I come home feeling renewed and refreshed.
That's why I ride, that's how I roll....
