I find myself alone in the desert in the dark after the kids are in bed with the white line as my only riding partner. With a small business to run and 3 young daughters.

One mans' pain is another mans' pleasure. Urban bike riding which is neither road or MTB is hazard with both those that tow the line and those that cross over the line. Put me in the column "Cross over the Line" Towing the line is more like it. One mans’ pain is another mans’ pleasure.

I am, and always have been, a "stop and smell the flowers" cyclist. I do not compete, formally nor informally, I ride purely for pleasure. I have no problem with this attitude, so long as it does not involve me. Call me a sissy for not riding over that cliff, I do not care. Each to their own. As to the white line, My road rides are long and slow, I average less than 15 MPH for around fifty miles. That is down from seventy a few years ago.

This could be my ticket to millions!

When I went back to see if she was alright I noticed she was deceased. I guess she had been missing for a few weeks. I find myself looking in the ditches now and not the white line. It seems my rides are longer now and I have a lack of concentration. A few weeks ago I was head down staring at the white line when I noticed out of the corner of my eye a woman lying in the ditch.

Friends of the non-road-biking variety sometimes say things like "I don't know how you can ride on a road for 6 hours, I'd run out of things to think about". To which I reply "Exactly!" yes!

Very smooth and fast. On very hot days I think of it as a cooling break for my tires too...depending how long I can hold it for or course.
