Diary of a Bicycle Addict

Prologue:

I knew it was a genuine addiction because it hit like any other addiction.  One time and I was hooked.  Like other addictions “highs” can be achieved when the drug is used correctly.  Ride far, get a high. Ride fast, get a high, ride tech, get a high, ride when you shouldn’t be able to (night, cold, snow) get a high. During these highs it is not uncommon to experience a state of euphoria.  This state can last a few moments or occasionally, a few days.  It is during these times, that I have creative outbursts that are worthy of diary entries. Oh yeah, like other drugs, the more you do, the more you have to do to get the high.
