Addiction 2021.3

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It's better than marching band music. Grading on a pass/fail scale, I rate it pass. It's nice.

Hey Lester! Not so much flooding at my place but we're in the middle of a tornado watch right now. The problem with higher ground around here.

It's cool regardless, that was always my favorite part, riding a bicycle on the highways where it's normally suicidal.

I broke a couple long time ago. Then I switched my beater bikes to double wall rims. Problem over.
It was tough riding around the dinosaurs.
