Yeah, if you ride to work it saves on pollution and maybe money, gets you in shape, etc., but that's not really what drives it. We do it 'cuz it's fun. It makes our brains jump up and dance around the room. It's more fun than getting drunk, and there's no hangover (unless you're Drunkcyclist). So--I guess some people's idea of fun is crashing really expensive bikes into trees. Whatever turns your cranks (pun intended) and makes your brain say, Oh yeah, let's do it again! Me, I ride a moderately expensive mountain bike (as well as road-biking), but I guess I'm the wimpy type--I take it only as fast as I can without crashing much. No significant damage to the bike in several months of riding.<br />P.S.--I mentioned you on my blog.Strandedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06731098418004249066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113367057461168542.post-64017456235033692652010-07-27T12:09:48.602-07:002010-07-27T12:09:48.602-07:00It cost me 6 G's, I crash it into trees.
