Cycling - a chat about all things bike.

Cycling. I can never ever think of that very word without thinking of the love of my life - Cruel Joke aka Cruel.

Back on the dash site, my Cruel was all about the cycling. Could talk your ears off about rides, safety, equipment, and all the while I would sit there like a little school girl with my chin in my hands and my eyes brightly shining waiting for the next ride recap.

Along came an accident and they weren't sure if she'd lose her leg or not, luckily not. A lot of time healing, weight gain, and trying to replace what had been lost. I don't know if you can ever get back to that place or if the next best thing is even satisfying enough.

Cruel can, but doesn't ride much bike anymore. However, she does ride the motorized one every chance she gets home off the road. She says life has changed.

Still nostalgia sets in once in awhile.
