It’s Micro Monday again. No podcast while I concentrate on moving/house prep.

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

@jean 🚲 enthusiast here, in spite of the accident I had this morning (bike is now a bit broken). Could be just the excuse to buy a bike with disc brakes!

@jean 👋 🚲 Roadie, but mostly been riding on a trainer indoors due to pandemic and N. MN winters (and falls and springs 😂. Looking forward to getting back outside at least sometimes in the near future.

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

@jean 🚲 👋

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 Yes, total bike nut here! I ride almost everyday. Mostly trail riding on a fat bike lately. But I also get out for a bit of pavement/gravel riding too, just not recently.

@jaheppler I, too, desire an e-bike. My wife says I can ride the perfectly good bike I have. Well, yeah. My first outing a couple weeks ago like to have killed me as I forgot I’m not 12 years old. :) My motorcycle days haunt me, as well, because I want to go faster, faster. I’m too old for that!

@jean I love riding bicycles. I’ve ridden half-way across Canada and have a burning desire to complete the journey. We’ve also ridden through tapioca and rubber plantations in Vietnam, among the tortugas in Galápagos 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. 🚲

@jean 🚲I used to bicycle commute regularly on a folding bike. Traded a lovely Brompton for Dahon - less elegant, more comfortable for me.
