Hey there Trek. I know how frustrating it can be to have crcumstances conspire and keep you away from your bike - for me its family and work... why do I have to work? Why not just get kids to school and bike all day...

As for doing worthy work... if we all mediated and focused our energy on good and positive outcomes round the world... WHILE WE CYCLED ... surely we would have an effect?

Do you have a trainer, Trek? It sucks, but its better than nothing... and like nuthatch, I put on cycle races and that helps keep me on longer than ten minutes
