My bike odometer ticked over 25000 miles sometime before the new year. It's kind of amusing thinking that I've cycled the equivalent of once about the earth. Granted not anything like to the
moon and back. But not bad for someone who has been very very overweight for most of their life.
I've been cycling for about 3 1/2 years now. It's been a lot of fun, I've lost quite a bit of weight, saved a lot of money [1], and generally thought it quite worthwhile. I've also become disgustingly healthy (at least in the cardiovascular sense). Plus all that smug self-righteousness us granola-crunching indie music[2] environnazi cyclists are entitled to is just Simply Fabulous!!!
