At work. looking over the fence during the course of a day, makes me feel like I am in prison..Like a caged animal that can't join his herd. My shifts are 12.5 hours so riding every day is impossible...I feel envious of so many who have the opportunity to ride every day..
Sometime soon in life, hope can find a new situation...Where I daily can commute to work..Have a reasonable distance to work so such is possible...Diminish the need for car travel. make a car needed only when absolutely necessary. Won't feel traped by the car culture.
Maybe a new job, live closer to work.
.Maybe even take a bike course, where I can commute to work at a bike shop... Live, eat, and breathe bikes instead of being inside the fence looking out at people all day, doing their thing on their bikes. Working normal hours and connecting to bikes and whatever that makes you happy instead of feeling in prison. Riding daily if you so choose.
So how would others change your lives to live the life you want and not feel trapped. . Think one can go onto something different and live bikes all day.
Anyone else look over the fence watch a group of cyclist pass you by and feel cheated knowing you can't join them for the next 4 days. Anyone so taken by your obsessions, you want a change to something simplier and live, eat and breathe bikes all day..
I am so accused by friends and family alike...Whenever off and free, biking is my life. So why not find a way to make it so. Thank god, so far my wife tolerates her bike widow status. If could incorporate bikes into your work life, maybe I would have more free time when I get home.
Think later on in life, when it becomes time to move on from your old career, somehow bikes can become your new career.
Anyone else out there, spent so much time doing the same old thing, something new related to your obsession seems like a dream..
