Interesting take. I'm not sure what the hypothesis is here though.

I know pot is good for me. It helps me turn creative and busy energy into positive plotting/planning/future-investing thinking. It helps me relax. I'm a lot more fun to my wife. And I can vaporize and avoid the evils of smoke in the lungs, but one of the points of acute, intense exercise is to boost testosterone levels. This helps mediate muscle hypertrophy. Growth hormone is also increased. I also mostly exercise between work and work so it's a definite no-go.

I'm almost certain that if I got high and tried to ride, I wouldn't be able to reach the intensity that I do when I'm "sober". I wouldn't really want to. I also can barely ride without crashing sober. I'd hate to add something like that to my already sorry riding skills.

Riding chills me out.

Same here...even fighting traffic. A&S on the other hand, gives me agita.

+1... unless someone, another cyclist, a car, etc, does something stupid in my direction, then I get angry and turn green and, well, you know how that goes.

I'll admit that I get pissed off and aggrevated from time to time due to certain things, but I know it's probably unintentional, so I turn any aggression to the pedals instead.

I've been set off by some jerk driving by and honking his horn to try to startle me. I chased him but never caught up. I did however beat my all time top speed.

WHAT KIND OF DUMB POST IS THIS! ARE YOU AN IDIOT!!!!


*does that answer your question?*





Acually I find cycling relaxes me. Gives me a chance to vent off some steam.

Who are you?

my point exactly, the post ride high is there because of the chemical release in the brain, but you don't get that during the ride, so that you can be alert and hyper-responsive. By getting stoned and going for a ride, you bypass the adrenaline /testosterone spike, and imitate the post ride euphoria. hence the more relaxed, but slower ride. but not the aggressive, eff the car going by mentality. personally, i like getting mad at the car, i go faster trying to catch up

No. it totally chills this hippie dudes. later.

Riding also usually chills me out, but I hate agressive cagers.

What's a cager? Is this the cadger (a bum) of years past? A codger (old crazy person)?
In the old days, cagers were basketball players.

No consecutive consonants in Hawaiian words, bub.

I think a cager is anyone driving a car. Its a stupid name given by those who love the environment for those of us who actually need cars to get around. I hate the term myself.

same here.

The word is not some enviro-hippy term, it is used extensively by motorcycle riders too. It's a pretty apt description of what a automobile driver is: trapped in a cage.

Oh yeah, and sorry for loving the environment, enjoy your cage.

I do enjoy my "cage" but I also enjoy my bike. Say that over in the Car-Free forum and see what happens.
