As If That Weren't Fun Enough

So torturing myself wasn't enough for the bike today. I just HAD to do more. But this was different . . .

I just had half the neighborhood kids playing cops and robbers. I was the bad guy, they were the good guys. They chased me up and down the street for half an hour.

And see, that's what makes the bike so damn cool. Yeah, earlier I was using it to challenge myself physically. But just now? I had fun. Good old fun. Like when I was a kid. And the kids had a blast trying to catch me. Things got worrisome when they started setting up roadblocks. But when they were riding, they were having a great time. They weren't riding anywhere, or for any reason. Just riding. And, for them, that's the whole point.

If they only knew that they rode for 3.6 miles while doing it. But they can never know that. Because then it's not fun, it's exercise.
