He wants to do it and we have talked about it, but maybe it will never happen. He is still recovering from his brain surgery and going through a lot of awful radiation and chemo treatments. His skull is not healed so even riding a bike with a helmet is totally off the table. And all this medical intervention will only buy him is a couple of months with no chance of recovery, but it should get him a couple of good months if what I read online is accurate. And I don't know if he can even remember how to ride a bike, but if it is at all possible he wants to give it a try. He has already per-apologized for riding slowly and not allowing me a decent work-out. I just internally shook my head and wondered WTF.
Every time I ride now by myself is depressing because all I think about is what a cruel thing that has happened to him. I need to get over that. And knowing my friend he would want to kick my ass for feeling that way.
