A March on Washington... on Bicycle?

(a distance I could have biked in 20 min.) and even so I had to walk on the road part of the way. We are not even an afterthought. ComandanteBanana is a true road warrior. I used to be one myself, but decided I would rather live to a ripe old age than die young. He is very smart to walk his bike whenever necessary. I do that too when conditions warrant it.

In the jungle SURVIVAL IS THE MOST IMPORTANT CONCERN. But you don't just become a couch potato (which is what they want so you become sick and dependent on the healtchcare industry), just adapt to the conditions. I still bike and kayak, but do so on protected bike paths (which you endorse) or go out at night in the case of the kayak. |
