That’s Communistic !

One of the biggest problems in the western world is that adults forgot how to have fun in simple ways. Now they're all angry and trying to achieve falsehoods of happiness that are largely unrealistic.

That was my Fight Club moment. This book was a revelation and made me happier on so many levels.

love the lil wave to other cyclists. spotted two friends walking (nobody's perfect) on the multi use path on my ride yesterday, and stopped to talk to one for a bit.

You know, you are right about saying “Hi!” to neighbors and passers-by. We don’t get a chance to do that while driving - maybe just a brief wave of the hand and move along.

There are some right miserable cyclists where I am... 😂

Hadn’t really thought about it in this way before, but the community aspect of a separated two-way bike path is a really important distinction from the in-traffic, one way bike lanes. When you’re right next to cars, you can’t really interact (for all the reasons….).

It’s also great for me to stop and have a sip of coffee and a good view on my rides. The ability to pause anytime is so good.

💯 Stop to rest, drink coffee/water, look at an animal or neat rock, check on progress of a construction project, check out a mural up close, listen to some birds... so much to take in when I walk and bike.

I live in a beach town so when I ride in the summer I will cruise down the bike line in our long board walk and listen to buskers and watch people play on the beach. The best.
