Itโ€™s Micro Monday again. No podcast while I concentrate on moving/house prep.

Iโ€™ve been doing a series of roll calls to help enthusiasts find each other. For this Monday, Iโ€™m calling on bicycle enthusiasts to halt for a moment and put up your hand in the comments. ๐Ÿšฒ

@jean mountain biker here. Dodging stationary trees is enough of a challenge, so I stay away from the asphalt.

I mostly ride my bike for enjoyment and exercise. Since I live in a city, it's typically on paved streets or bike trails near where I live. But, I've been looking to get off-road more and have been thinking about purchasing a mountain bike to ride on off-road trails.

@jean I love riding bicycles. Iโ€™ve ridden half-way across Canada and have a burning desire to complete the journey. Weโ€™ve also ridden through tapioca and rubber plantations in Vietnam, among the tortugas in Galรกpagos and through abandoned railway tunnels in PA and WI. My favourite rides though are in the Canadian province of Quebec where cars even stop for cyclists!

@jean I'm a bit of a lapsed bicyclist. I plan to get my rig to the shop this year for some proper maintenance. My daughter is learning and would I love to share my joy. My bicycle was an important part of my independance as an early teen, and it's one of the most efficient forms of transport yet devised. ๐Ÿšฒ
