I’ve never been a big fan of riding bikes. The seat is always uncomfortable, I have a hard time finding the right gear, and I hate pedaling up hills.
Which makes this story even more unbelievable. This guy is (literally!) insane.

Wow! That was fascinating. I’ve always hated riding bikes too. I thought I was the weird one. Now I can blame it on family genes. :-D

That’s funny, because I actually like to ride bikes. Though, admittedly, in order of transportation favorites it goes 1)Segway 2) Automobile 3) Walking 4) Biking 5) Public transportation 6) Hitchhiking 7) Running. Okay, so I’ve never been on a Segway, but that would be so cool! Anyway, distracting myself… in terms of forced exercise (which is everything for me), I’d rather bike than run.
But I really enjoyed reading that. To think at one time I entertained the idea of trying to prepare for triathlons. Reading that just made me glad the temporary insanity has passed.
