Sacramento Greetings! Bikes and short background
Hello all!
Like listening to NPR pledge drives year after year and not contributing, eventually the guilt gets to be too much.
I'm 29 and have been riding bikes my whole life. General to school, friends, around etc. Bikes didn't BECOME my life until 2015ish while living in Boulder, Co for a few years. My car was totalled and having the safety net of my partner having a car, I forged ahead for the remainder of our time there travelling only by bike (mostly). It wasn't until then that I realized how much your life can change when you center it less around transporting yourself by car and more by bike.
Stable:
2015 Salsa Deadwood 29+
