I personally don't buy into "what I do dictates who I am". I also maintain a strict 5 mile one way rule. Individual results may vary but I personally don't care if I stack boards or fry French fries...I do care if I can't ride to work! In the last 7 years i have bought 5 vehicles...all for the ladies I have had in my life. I truly detest riding in a car, on a bus, etc. My bike is my solace. A true extension of myself. Sounds fanatical I know...but I am! I love to pedal. Love the adversity. I live in the pacific northwest. Spokane for ever, now Idaho. I ride 365. Rain, shine, blizzard, heatwave. I don't care as long as I sit saddle.
