With apologies to the Moody Blues

Cyclists in black lycra,
Never reaching the end,
BF posts I’ve written,
Never meaning to send.

Road bikes I’d always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore.

cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.

Gazing at drop bars,
Some hand in hand,
Just what I’m going thru
They can understand.

Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end,

And I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.

Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.

You know, with your current Avatar, you kind of look like one of them. One of my all time favorite groups.

DeeGee, Sometimes I think it's a good thing you're three time zones away. Otherwise, our livers might never recover.

Bikes: Catrike 559 I own some others but they don't get ridden very much.

I don't understand why a fellow who worries about the health effects of V8 juice would smoke that stuff.

Just another of life's confusing contradictions, no?

I would guess he did. 'Isn't Life Strange?"

Speaking of the Moody Blues

I woke today, I was crying
I read DG's post
I wished I was dying
Lost in a lost world

You guys are so inspiring I think I'll go add three more front doors to my house.

Hey, when you're riding do you ever question your balance?

Do you give your old bikes to your childrens, childrens, children?

And here I am, doing a quick eight miles after work and before dark - and I've go tthe Sex Pistols running through my mind. Guess I'm not the softly poetic type.
