Fair enough. Yeah, my average ride is about 15 miles and I've not done longer than 25 yet. I just go out for an hour when my knee is feeling especially sore and I need a break from running. My arse was super sore the first few times but I just toughed it out and now it's not too bad. But I can't imagine riding more than 20 miles on a consistent basis without some sort of padding.

As far as the bright colors, I can see that. Biking up here is much more accepted up here and I (would like to) think looking out for bicyclists is on drivers' minds.

See, if you run, I have nothing to say but

I HATE running. It makes me feel like I was overrun by a multitude of long-haul trucks, 400 head of cattle, and The List Eater. My knees, joints, and back just suffer too much for it to be effective.

I can go much longer on a bike and on a weekend ride, I will burn 3,500 calories or more. Other than swimming, cycling is the best form of activity to improve and maintain physical conditioning with the least amount of degenerative impact.

The worst? Running.

It sucks to be old.
