Cycling not particularly dangerous

I did that for some 10 years all over the country on almost a daily basis when I was in my 30's. I don't think I ever did anything dangerous, but hikers get into trouble all the time for one reason or another. I never was a strong person, so I had to take care of myself. Hells Bells, if I had known I was going to live so long, I would have taken better care of myself. Ah you were a professional hiker. *Very good. When I was in my thirties I wanted to be a professional bicycle tourist and photographer. *I was unable to find sponsorship. *Or more correctly, sponsorship was unable to find me. You don't need any sponsorship as long as you are unmarried and willing to remain poor all of your life. I take pride in being poor the way some guys take pride in being rich. In any event, it was very inexpensive to travel in the 60's and 70's. To get my perspective on life, read Jon Krakauer's "Into the Wild". When you are young, you should only be into adventure, not money and jobs or marriage and children. Ugh! By the way, just plain riding your bike for many miles is basically a guy thing. Kids and women are only into just quite short rides if truth be told. It has been my observation that women seem perfectly suited to long distance riding. *Perhaps more so than men. NEVER more so than men, but the gals who are into long distance cycling are the athletic type, mostly phy ed teachers. They are few and far between. I don't mind them so long as they do not have a macho attitude. That is reserved for us testosterone based men. Women who want to compete with men are beneath contempt. I treat them like the tramps that they are. [...] Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota Dolan is on IGNORE |
