My wife and I were big into bicycling at one time, years ago. That article actually sort of described us fifteen or twenty years ago. But as time passed, I started looking at myself in colorful lycra, looking like an ugly bicycling advertisement for some product I didn't even use, and I started toning things down a little. I still ride bicycles all the time. It is my main form of transportation around town in the summer, and in the winter in PR. For several years I worked at an aquatic center during the summer and rode to work every day. But I've winnowed our bicycle collection down to one Cannondale each, and I've thrown away all of my lycra, and most of the accoutrements that I persuaded myself to buy and never used. My wife still has the shoes that snap onto the pedals, but I'm good with old fashion toe clips and a pair or running shoes. My bicycling attire consists these days of just regular clothing. Nothing bicycle specific, just shorts and a t shirt. Bicycling, and the fortune I spent on it, is one of the reasons I am very careful not to get swallowed up by UAS. I learned my lesson. That, and fishing. Fishing is the worst.
