I'll say this much...

"The Bicycle is The Greatest Common Denominator in my life."

that is... of all things in my life, the most consistent aspect of it, has been The Bicycle. I have always been on a bike.

around 14yrs ago, a buddy came into the shop where i was working on my bike, and his boy, then 5 years old...

we poked fun that i was always working on a bike.

"I love my bike"

in a taunting 5 year old way, "if you love it why don't you marry it?"

"well, i guess i could try, but i think if i tried to put a dress on it, it would just rip."

we all had big laffs about that!
