I lost a girlfriend once because she said I spent more time with my bike than I did with her. At the time she lived 15 miles away from where I did. I didn't have a car,rode my bike everywhere I went.I guess she did have a valid point.Oh well.
Peace and Blessings,
John

I ride to forget all my cares. I try to never think of problems or worries or even plans - I try to just go Zen.
I'm so good at using my rides to forget things that one time I came beck from an extra long ride and said to my wife " . . . Who are you?"

Last summer my girlfriend of 3 years broke up with me for another guy 3 weeks before we were supposed to move in together. I was stuck in NYC with no bike for a couple months. It was miserable.
Got back to Ohio, got back in the bike and things seemed to get a lot better. :-)
