People don't believe me when I tell them my Brooks saddles are comfortable.
They also believe I have to many bikes, I'm down to six after a high of fifteen!

Some people deprive themselves of sleep for work, relationships, partying, school, etc. I do it for more mileage.

My 8 years old "So Dad? Are you going to spend all day reading the bike forum?!". Somehow he makes it sound wrong.

This sounds like my wife, you should have heard her yesterday in the wind. 7-8mph and words that made me blush (I was a sailor). I told her to push hard and get some good training in, she wasn't happy with that response. We had a crosswind though, so no relief going or coming.

I hate the dark arms/pale hands look so this year I tried riding without gloves. My hands got tanned all right, but my left pinkie and ring finger started going numb. Back to wearing gloves.

People think its crazy that I will do a 50 mile ride on weekends to relax. Some people think I am insane for waking up at 5am to get in about and 1.5 hours of training.

I like the head wind, living in flatland where hills or any climb do not exist. I think it helps my training and I push as much as possible.
