I can also see better without craning my neck. I've been on neighborhood streets nearby that I've driven by for 20 years! It is fun.

Bike...@Kane: Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Bikes are bikes and the owner gets to choose what they like, want, need, and can afford. (Plus, you've go to pick what your body can handle.) ;-)<br /><br />Your pictures are superb. As I was going through some of your older posts, I discovered others that have been used for prompts on PP&P. Go figure! You do a nice job with color or black and white. Very interesting stuff.<br /><br />DonDonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070578562535678950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020013421218194456.post-80653709459873430992009-07-02T02:49:35.136-07:002009-07-02T02:49:35.136-07:00I love bikes!

But hey, a bike's a bike!<br /><br />Thanks for all the input on the captions! Writing them is always the hardest part of posting... trying to get the right amount of wit and sophistication without too much cliche is a challenge. You're right, sometimes they don't make much sense (Epik was purposefully misspelled because the group uses that spelling in their name)Kane Hsiehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253571362783439153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020013421218194456.post-76478478044743709482009-06-28T16:47:10.694-07:002009-06-28T16:47:10.694-07:00Sasha,

Biking is not boring. Therein lies its major appeal. I also like the sense of movement, balance, and a bit of dance that it requires. The breeze in the face is nice too. I've even discovered some local aromas. This morning it was a mimosa tree. You don't get that in a gym!<br /><br />DonDonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070578562535678950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020013421218194456.post-1602811109803682962009-06-28T11:45:57.404-07:002009-06-28T11:45:57.404-07:00Hi Don,

I don't use it that much but I really should.<br /><br />I'm cancelling my gym membership this week, because I never really use it - too boring. <br /><br />Biking is a great way to maintain fitness and see something of the world around you.<br /><br />Enjoy the ride, love the journey, savour the voyage!<br /><br />SachaSacha van Stratenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01041060468903643437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020013421218194456.post-17499112685716412502009-06-27T18:58:20.662-07:002009-06-27T18:58:20.662-07:00@We_the_pieces: I don't think I've bought ...@We_the_pieces: I don't think I've bought a bike since my junior year in high school. (Class of '71 -- you do the math.) That bike was a used 10 speed. I've grown some too: older and "wider." I rode my "new" bike twice today! (It's getting more use than a gymn membership; that's for sure!) ;-)Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070578562535678950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020013421218194456.post-69284915062098614022009-06-26T10:43:20.866-07:002009-06-26T10:43:20.866-07:00Oh nice!
