I would bike more if:

[Tom Keats]

The question in the subject line is posed on the entry form
of a local contest.

I guess I would ride more if I didn't have to sleep every
now & then. And if I had the time & money wherewithal to
do some touring.

I would bike more if "bike" was a verb.


cheers,
Tom

Get her a bike!

That's what I did over 30 years ago. Worked _great_!

One of our customers got a new Project One (Trek with a special paint job) a
few months ago. He had "The Other Woman" written on it.

Get a tandem and take the girlfriend with you.

Roger, maybe you could rent a tandem for a date and see what she thinks.

OTOH, Sometimes it's good to have a means for a quick getaway
where she can't catch ya.

At least, such has been my experience.


cheers,
Tom

Jobst Brandt has several photos of, and homilies about, riding a road
bike on gravel and various other unpaved surfaces.

I used to shock BMX kiddies by riding a road bike on sew-up tires and
grabbing air over their monkey trails along the river.
