I'm two months in to a self-induced 'offseason' for the first time in seven years since moving to California, where it's genuinely so fucking nice outside you don't have any reasons not to ride your bike. But it got less and less fun, so I made it harder and more interesting and rode all singlespeeds for a while. And then all fixed gears for a while. And then I was out of ways to make it interesting so I stopped.
I don't miss it yet.
I've picked up new hobbies, run a half marathon for shits and giggles, and reveled in only doing half the volume of laundry each week. Bikes will come back, but the offseason feels good.
Nice one as always, Uncle Dave, and thanks for all the Peaches.
