I got taken on a bike ride which was supposed to recruit me into supporting the move, but instead scared me away- straight up out of Palo Alto on what seemed like miles of climbing up a narrow twisty road full of drivers trying to re-create sportscar commercials, on a borrowed bike that wouldn't stick in its lowest gear. When I finally arrived at the top, everyone else was well rested, and wanted to take off on a winding ridgeline road, also with lots of traffic. I did finally refuse point blank to ride down the other side of the ridgeline and then back up it.

Lots of trolls commenting about how scofflaw bikers deserve what they get. <br />Just have to keep soldiering on and trying to make it better.cyclerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10331461189944538729noreply@blogger.com
