In a world where everyone is in a rush to get nowhere is the reason I like riding my bike. I take it slow and enjoy the sights along the way.

When I drive to work it is like being on a racetrack. Cars whizzing by like they are trying to get the checkered flag. Hell I’m heading to work and I’m in no hurry to get there. When I go home I’m in no hurry to get home. Probably going to stop somewhere.

When I ride my bike it is like I’m in a different period of time. I just slowly pedal along. Then there are the road racers who are speeding by. Sometimes they are a pain in the butt. Just because I stop to enjoy the view or have a snack does not mean something is wrong. I guess in their world who in the world would stop and not have a problem.

They should know I’m not of their world. I ride a heavy touring bicycle with saddlebags and my Ortlieb handlebar bag. Does it look like I’m in a rush to get anywhere. Also I’m not in lycra.

That is what is great about bicycle riding because you can choose your style and just go with it. Just hop on a bike and pedal.
