I find bike riding to be a really good time to mull things over - as long as the traffic is not too bad. So I think about things I've seen or things I've experienced and enjoy the time to explore what these experiences have meant to my life. I am tired, but having such a good time learning new things that it is not a problem. Yes, after every cycling trip, I always am glad that I went by bicycle and want to go again. I don't really know yet.
Every day is different - so no one thing pops out as being a problem.
If it rained every day or snowed every day or if I got a flat every day - then I might find it difficult. But so far, the weather has been varied, and I haven't had a flat at all - so I have no complaints. Thanks for thinking it up. I don't know, as Arnie and I are flying now. Yes, very much.
