They provide active recovery, essential respites between hard days of climbing.
They sustain my “ride every day” plan. Often the most difficult hurdle is just starting. Short rides make it easy to start, because it’s always ok just to ride a few miles. On the other hand, often what I expect to be a short ride turns into a longer ride because I’m having fun.
They invite me to look around, pay attention to stuff. Incredibly relaxing.

Born in Harrisburg, PA. Undergrad at Drexel University. Learned to ride a bike when six years old, riding ever since. Started cooking when I was in college, stopped when I got married, started again in 2006 when my wife was out of town for a few months. Jobs: worked at post office while in college to earn money to buy a stereo. After grad school, worked at a small software company in Redmond, WA for twelve years. Afterwards, went back to school to get a certificate, then started teaching high school. Still doing that off and on, part time as the need arises.
