Portable Novel Writing on a Bicycle

[pardes]

Thanks everyone. It is so good to see all of you again.

As you can tell I love my bicycle and I love writing.

The only problems I'm having these days is with well-intentioned people who insist they drive me home because it's raining. Or it's dark. Or it's hot. And a hundred other "ors."

They just look at me as if I'm insane when I say I like riding in the rain, dark, heat, whatever.

On the other hand, I've overheard them talking to others and saying, "I've got this eccentric friend who gave up her car and rides her bike everywhere. Imagine that, she has crippling arthritis, is no spring chicken, but crawls up on that bike as if she was a kid...and oh my how I wish I could be like her."

So fellow cyclists, whether you are a bicycle activist or just someone who bikes, be aware that you are influencing America to be more GREEN and more active no matter what your age. And happy. And content.

Who would have thought a simple little bicycle was capable of doing all that?

Pardes,

As soon as I read your post and visited your blog this book came to mind. As a writer and an "eccentric" I think you'd enjoy it. Full of short stories from other eccentrics including more than a few women riders.

Ride safe.

Pardes!!! Glad you came back around. Happy 5 year Anniversary to you! Can't wait to read your blog- have always loved your writing. Don't be such a stranger, ok?

Laguna, I will definitely check out that book. Thanks.

Okay, so I've written another blog with a tangential reference to biking.

I consider writing blogs my candy bar treat after managing to write 1500 words on the novel today.
