You might be addicted to cycling if …
… you just lost your job but you’re happy because you got to wear your new bike shorts for the first time on your ride this morning!
That’s right, pilgrims, I’m out of a job as of today. Laid off for financial reasons. I’m glad I bought my road bike already. I wouldn’t be able to justify that purchase without an income.
I hope with my next job, I will have time to ride in the morning. Maybe even ride to work. Maybe even ride on my lunch hour. Maybe take every Monday off in the winter to go skiing.
As long as I can ride and keep my bike in repair (or get a new one as needed).
It’s nice not having a job. It’s that lack of income thing that’s the problem.

Glad you’re taking it so well…
It’s a great perspective on getting out there and enjoying your life… afterall… that’s what the income is all about right? Making life easier? But what if you work so hard for the income that you forget how great life can be when you’re out living it.
Anyway, good luck on finding a job where you can ride your bike more… I will admit when I rode my bike 25miles to/from work each day was some of the happiest work days I’ve had in my career!

Wow! 50 miles a day. That sounds great. I always looked forward to my bike rides to and from work. Rather than in the car when you just want to get home quickly.

Mtbman, We’ll be sending you good juju for delightful rides in the next few days - and a source of income that comes with riding every day! Take care!

Thanks, seashell. It’s working. I already had a wonderful ride today with Mrs. MTBMan1. Unbelievable! We just don’t get such perfect weather here in the northeast!
