Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I’m not even slightly religious, but I like the story about the guy who drowns and asks St Peter why God didn’t save him and St Peter replies “He sent a warning and a boat and a helicopter, what were you expecting?”.

Yes, I like that story and have used it a few times myself since this all started.

It sinks if you don't keep pedaling? That's a problem.

He also calls it a bike. No.

I never tried one of those big wheel tricycles. At camp they had two-person paddle boats that are super slow. Avoid.

If you want some pedaling on the water adventure, become pedaling crew on a Race to Alaska boat.
