    When you yearn for every destination where you've lived or visited for a few days, that there is a bike for oneself..to explore.

    When you no longer know nor care about gas prices. I stopped knowing 25 yrs. ago. Or quarter of a century.

    When your next home must be close to cycling infrastructure ....within 10-15 min...because your previous homes were located to such facilities.

    Yep.

    DH and I are in a weight loss competition before cycling season hits full blast. When he asked what I get if I win and I say a new bike, he says "but that was your birthday present!"

    When all you've done in the morning is read news coverage of the terrible tragedy in the Giro yesterday, and are overwhelmed with sadness for the riders.

    As a rider and racer, this has had a very profound impact on me.

    I still tear up when I think about the death at the Giro. I don't like to think about how many times I have been lucky and sometimes not so lucky (Broken collar bone, collapsed lung, etc).
