    Yeah and then on top of that, I lose my dad and couldn't even grieve sleep because the coughing kept me awake all night.

    Riding across your state?

    Getting loans from China is only going to result in nothing but bad in the future.

    Solo or with others

    I think it can turn into a bigger adventure when you do it alone because you control the trip entirely. But I'm sure the loneliness isn't for everyone.

    Other Which one suits you best between road and gravel bike?

    I own both. I have a road bike which I use for smooth roads and mainly for organized rides and group rides. I also have a gravel bike which I love taking on rail trails and gravel backroads for adventures. I have a mountain bike as well and I select that for real single mountain bike trails...

    Hotels, renting, or camping?

    Heat is pretty much the only way to get rid of them aside from dangerous chemicals.

    E-Bike Do you think electric bikes are overhyped?

    I think they're a game changer. I see more older people on e-bikes than I ever have seen on regular ones. People are living longer because of them. I'm an advocate of them as long as they're class 3 or lower. The e-motorcycles are IMO not bicycles.

    Other Do you prefer clipless or flat pedals?

    I used to be a flat pedal only rider. However, now I mainly use SPD clipless. I have them on my road bike and my gravel bike. I just feel more secure in them. Now for mountain biking, it's flats. I want to be able to get out of my pedals as fast as possible when on a singletrack trail going...

    E-Bike Should E-Bike Riders Be Required to Have a License?

    Cycling in really cold weather

    I'm the opposite. I lose all motivation in the winter to bike. I'll start hiking and trail running more, though.

    Are a member of any cycling club?

    I'm a member of two clubs. St Nicks Bike Club. Been a member of it for around 10 years. I rarely ride with them anymore though because I moved farther away. Also a member if a local club where I live now. I ride with them about 1-2 days a week. I want to create my own cycling club for a local...

    Fitness or Adventure?

    What is cycling to you? What does it mean for you? For some, cycling is for fitness. For others, it's about adventure. For me - it's adventure. I could really care less about being fast or super fit. I bike for the adventure aspects of it. I bike to see stuff and enjoy trails on two wheels...

    What type of cyclist are you?

    I'm definitely not a pro and not really interested in becoming one.

    Ride every day

    It definitely depends on where you're located. If you have a safe area and a safe infrastructure for cycling at night, it can be one of the best times to get out.
