Cycling Anonymous

I am an addict as well. My husband often states that he thinks I love my bike more than him. I have to point out to him that the bike doesn't talk back as much as he does...

My bike either lives in a number code locked room at my tri-team home gym near Central Park, or in my apartment. But since bike theft is so rampant here, this is not considered weird and obsessive behavior, just protecting your investment.

Hi. My name is Rita Marie and I am addicted to bicycling too.

My husband says I have "a problem" and if I am off the bike for a few days straight he tells me that I am "getting the shakes" which I interpret as "you are a real grumpy gills since you haven't ridden in the past couple of days". :-)

Yep, I've been like this over the last week. It was a joy to ride my 12 miles today, and am looking forward to tomorrow Still testing the hammie, but thankful that things do seem to be healing.

It is like an addiction. I feel quite grumpy if I can't go out on the bike. I thought it would take a lot more mileage than I log to become a real addiction, but no, even my little slow 12-mile jaunt has become necessary.

I can't imagine storing a bike in a garage. I live in an apartment, so it's a non-issue, but I would never leave a bike where it is so vulnerable. Besides, I think bikes are pretty.
