24.6 miles
while out on a ride yesterday a friend asked, "you must think about bikes all day long... do you ever get tired of it and want think of something else?" well, i don't know, to be honest. i told him while at work I think about all the crappy walmart bikes, rusty 30-year-old peugots that aren't worth fixing and everything else about cheap bikes that make me angry. after work i think about everything bike-related that makes me happy. there is a clear line that is drawn and i try to keep them separate. i think that's necessary. over the past few years i've gotten very soured on the industry but i love bikes to death so it's important to keep that bitterness compartmentalized. it has affected my relationship with bikes for sure, but right now, while i write this, i am taking a nice relaxing bath before work and all i can think about is the ride i'll take after work.
